Running Command Lists at a Specified Time or Time Interval

You can also issue the AFTER, AT, CHRON, and EVERY commands from a command list.

You can set up the AT, EVERY, CHRON, and AFTER commands so the command list runs even if the operator is not logged on at the time. Do this by choosing an autotask that will be active and by coding the oper operand of the ROUTE command in the timer command. You can run command lists under the primary POI task (PPT); restrictions in doing so are described in Primary POI Task Restrictions . However, whenever possible, run command lists under an autotask; restrictions in using the AUTOTASK command are described in AUTOTASK OST Restrictions.

You can define command lists so that they always interrupt the processing of other command lists. You do this using the TYPE=H (high priority) operand of the CMDDEF statement, or by prefixing your command with CMD HIGH. For more information about how to code CMDDEF statements, see the IBM® Tivoli NetView for z/OS Administration Reference. For more information about the CMD command, see the online help.
