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.
