Building a job online

When you build a job, Db2 Automation Expert does one of the following: constructs a JCL job to run utilities on the objects that are specified in the object profile; schedules active actions to be run during the next maintenance window; or inserts passive actions into the action list, but does not schedule them. If you included an exception profile in the job profile, Db2 Automation Expert checks for exceptions during the job build. If a job profile is built for active or passive action, the job profile must contain an exception profile.

1. On the Db2 Automation Expert main menu, enter 4 in the Option field and press Enter.
2. On the Jobs Profile Display, enter B in the Cmd line next to the profile you want to build and press Enter.
   The window shown in the following figure is displayed:
