  • 1.  Autosys Run Window Help

    Posted Oct 13, 2016 11:30 AM

    Hi All, im new here so sorry if this is the incorrect place to post this. I need to schedule a job between the hours of 20:00 and 00:30 the following day, Monday - Friday. I was using a run window but of course the run window ends at 23:59 and will not carry our the final run on the Saturday morning. The job also starts on Monday morning which i do not require. Is there a way to configure a calendar or something to fix this or is the only way around it to have multiple jobs?

     

    Thanks. Cameron

    run_window: "20:00-00:30"

    days_of_week: mo,tu,we,th,fr

     

    what is the issue ? why would it go to saturday morning if you didnt include it? 

    run window is all about the start NOT about the completion.

    if you need it to run saturday then say so. 

    days_of_week: mo,tu,we,th,fr,sa

    Steve,

     

    I wish it were so simple, if i specify sa it will indeed run on the Saturday morning but it will also run between 20:00 - 00.00 on Saturday night which i do not require. It is the same situation on the Monday, it runs between 00:00 - 00:30 when i only want the job to start at 20:00 on the Monday.

     

    Cheers,

    Utilize a global variable

    Set it to go on sunday

    Set it to no go on Saturday after the success of the midnight process

     

    Problem solved
