Using Schedules
Using service periods (also called schedules) is one of the methods to set goals for resources. Service periods are defined as permanent automation policy in the customization dialog.
To display all the service periods that are defined in the sysplex, use the INGSCHED command dialog.
On the INGSCHED panel, you can enter the following command codes for a selected schedule:
- A
- Using this action code to view the From-To time windows of the selected service period for the week. No updates are possible on this panel.
- B
- Displays the actual From-To time windows for the selected schedule including the overrides, starting from the requested day (initially it is the current day). Use this option if you want to override a schedule for all resources that use this schedule (that is, for all resources that this schedule is linked to in the customization dialog). Such an override is called a schedule override and is described in Schedule Override.
- C
- Displays the resources that are using the selected schedule. You can select a resource to view the schedule that is used for this resource. You can override the schedule just for the selected resource. Such an override is called a resource override and is described in Resource Override.
The column with the UP and DN entries indicates whether the schedule is an UP or DOWN time window.
