Running Missed Jobs

Jobs that would have run while the system was shut down are called missed jobs. Robot Schedule lets you run jobs that were missed. You can run all jobs missed since a specific time or choose specific jobs to run.

Note: You can use either the Explorer or the IBM i to set up Robot Schedule to automatically run missed jobs using the program AUTOWORK. For details, look in the Explorer or IBM i help.

To run missed jobs:

1. ClickTap Home under the Robot SCHEDULE menu.

2. ClickTap  Show Actions for the system you want.

3. Select Run Missed Jobs.

4. Enter the date and time at which you want Robot SCHEDULE to start checking for missed jobs.

   • Enter today’s date: Finds jobs scheduled from the time you chose to the current time.
   • Enter an earlier date: Finds jobs scheduled from the time you chose until midnight of that date. If you need to check for missed jobs on more than one date, enter each date separately. Note: If you enter a date prior to the current week, be sure to select Check Completion History in step 5 so it will check completion history to see whether jobs have run. (Job completion codes are reset on Sunday evening at midnight.)
   • Multiple runs: If a job was scheduled to run more than once on the date you specified, Robot SCHEDULE runs each missed job only once even if it has missed more than one run time. If a multiple-run job has completed once successfully on the date, it is not listed as “missed."

5. ClickTap the Check Completion History to "On" to check for a job’s completion status. If an entry is found for the date you specified, it won't be considered “missed."

   Note: This parameter relies on completion history to perform an accurate check. Purged history records and cleared completion codes can make a job appear to have been “missed” when it actually ran.

6. To run all the missed jobs on this system without first seeing a list of them:

   1. ClickTap this to "Off."
   2. clicktap OK.
   3. clicktap Yes when asked to confirm your request.
   4. Skip the rest of the steps in this procedure.

   To see a list of the missed jobs before running them:

   1. ClickTap Display list of missed jobs to "On."
   2. ClickTap OK.
   3. Continue with the rest of the steps below.

7. On the Jobs Missed page:

   • To run all the jobs on the page, clicktap Run all missed jobs.
   • To run one missed job, clicktap  Show Actions for it and select Run Job.
   • To run several missed jobs, check the box by each job you want to run. Then, clicktap Run Job at the top of the page.
