Add Schedule Entries

You can add new schedule entries to the DB2 and IMS Schedule.

To insert (add) schedule entries

1. Open the DB2 and IMS Scheduling dialog.
2. Select DB2 or IMS option.
3. Click Insert.

   The Scheduling Insert dialog opens.

4. Complete the following fields:
   • Job Name

     Specifies an IMS region name or z/OS job name that is commonly associated with the program name to be monitored. This field can contain a maximum of eight characters.

     The entire length of the field, including trailing blanks is used as selection criteria. A trailing asterisk (*) denotes a generic name. Characters to the left of the asterisk are used for selection. Thus, ABC* matches any name whose first three characters start with ABC.

     Note: An asterisk (*) as the first character of this field denotes that any region or job name is considered a match. Leaving Job Name blank also denotes that any region or job name is considered a match.

   • (Required) Program

     Provides a valid program name (DB2 SP name or IMS/DC name) you want CA InterTest to monitor during your debugging session. This field can only contain a maximum of eight characters.

     Note: An asterisk (*) as the first character of this field denotes that any program name is considered a match. Leading blanks are not allowed.

     A trailing asterisk (*) denotes a generic name. Characters to the left of the asterisk are used for selection. Thus, ABC* matches any name whose first three characters start with ABC.

   • DATABASE TYPE

     Specifies the database type associated with the new schedule entry. This field is automatically populated with the value in the Database Type field in the DB2 and IMS Scheduling dialog.

   • ONE TIME?

     Specifies if the entry is deleted from the schedule upon selection for monitoring. Clear the check box if you do not want the entry deleted after selection. CA InterTest preserves the Yes (checked) or No (unchecked) value across multiple Insert operations.

     Default: No

   • User ID

     Specifies an IMS User ID for the schedule entry. This field can only contain a maximum of eight characters.

     Note: This field can be left blank, specified with a full name for an exact match, or make use of the asterisk (*) character to indicate a partial name.

   • Transaction

     Specifies an IMS Transaction ID for the schedule entry. This field can only contain a maximum of eight characters.

     Note: This field can be left blank, specified with a full name for an exact match, or make use of the asterisk (*) character to indicate a partial name.

5. Click More if you have more entries to insert. A new Schedule Insert dialog opens. Repeat step 4.
6. Click Done when you do not have any more entries to insert.

Note: Keeping the entry in the schedule indicates that the product always monitors the named program in a debugging session when all selection criteria are met.

To cancel all the inserts before you clicked Done, click Quit.
