SET SCHEDMODES (Select a Central Scheduling Mode)

Use this command to determine how the clients communicate with the server to begin scheduled work. Each client must be configured to select the scheduling mode in which it operates.

This command is used 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, the value is set to ANY.

Privilege Class

To perform this task, you must have system privilege.

Syntax

>>-Set SCHEDMODes----+-ANY------+------------------------------><
                     +-POlling--+
                     '-PRompted-'
 

Parameters

ANY
Specifies that the server allows clients to 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.

Examples

Task

A server allows 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 execute scheduled commands. This means that any client scheduler using the server-prompted mode waits until you set the schedule mode to ANY or PROMPTED.

Command:
set schedmodes polling
