Use this command to determine how the clients communicate with
the server to begin scheduled work. You must configure each client to select
the scheduling mode in which it operates.
Use this command with the SET RETRYPERIOD command
to regulate the time and the number of retry attempts to process a failed
command.
You can issue the QUERY STATUS command to
display the value for the scheduling mode supported. At installation, this
value is ANY.
Privilege class
To issue this command, you must
have system privilege.
Syntax

'-PRompted-'
Parameters
- ANY
- Specifies that clients can run in either the client-polling or the server-prompted
scheduling mode.
- POlling
- Specifies that only the client-polling mode can be used. Client nodes
poll the server at prescribed time intervals to obtain scheduled work.
- PRompted
- Specifies that only the server-prompted mode can be used. This mode is
only available for clients that communicate with TCP⁄IP. Client nodes wait
to be contacted by the server when scheduled work needs to be performed and
a session is available.
Example: Restrict scheduled operations to clients using client-polling
Clients
can run under both server-prompted and client-polling central scheduling.
You want to temporarily restrict the scheduled operations to clients that
use the client-polling mode. If you set the schedule mode to POLLING, the
server discontinues prompting clients to run scheduled commands. This means
that any client scheduler using the server-prompted mode waits until you set
the schedule mode to ANY or PROMPTED.
