Scheduler thread

The scheduler thread runs on a periodic basis based on the value specified in the ARSODF_SCHDSLEEP parameter in the ARS.CFG file.

The scheduler thread schedules all distributions that have been defined with a distribution scheduling method of All Ready that are not already scheduled. It schedules distributions defined with a method of Time of Day if the specified time has been reached and the distribution has not already been scheduled or processed for that day. It marks a distribution with a method of Time of Print ready to be submitted if the time of day has been reached and the distribution has not yet been submitted for report bundle processing. The scheduler thread does not schedule any distributions defined with a method of External or Loaded.
