Using
the scheduling capabilities, you can specify that jobs are submitted
to the grid when a certain time has been reached or after a specified
file or job event has occurred (such as a specified file being created).
To schedule
a job to run on a grid, follow these steps:
-
Deploy
the job for scheduling.
Some SAS
applications, such as SAS Data Integration Studio, include an option
to deploy jobs for scheduling. If you want to schedule an existing
SAS job, use the
Deploy SAS DATA Step Program option in the Schedule Manager plug-in of SAS Management Console.
-
Use the
Schedule Manager plug-in in SAS Management Console to add the job
to a flow.
A flow
contains one or more deployed jobs as well as the schedule information
and time, file, or job events that determine when the job runs.
-
Assign
the flow to a scheduling server and submit the flow for scheduling.
You must
assign the flow to a Platform Process Manager scheduling server in
order for the scheduled job to run on the grid.

information about scheduling, see
Scheduling in SAS.
