Job Ordering and Job Forcing
Job ordering is the placing of a job scheduling definition in the Active Jobs
file when the job’s basic scheduling criteria are satisfied.
Most production jobs are automatically ordered during New Day processing.
However, jobs can be manually ordered, as well.
Job forcing is the placing of a job scheduling definition in the Active Jobs
file regardless of the job’s basic scheduling criteria
Although any job can be forced, job forcing is generally requested for special
purpose, or exception, jobs that are not normally scheduled:
• Jobs can be automatically forced as part of the post-processing of another
job. For example, a particular job may be required only if a certain other
job abends. In this case, it is forced during the post-processing for the
abended job.
• Jobs can also be forced manually.
For example, a routine job that is
generally ordered automatically according to its scheduling criteria can
be manually forced, if required, on a day it is not normally scheduled
