This function makes it possible to ask for the execution of a request at a given date and time. It can be called via a button directly from the request management, or by the menu.

It should be noted that the option All users defined below must be granted with care; even if the launch of a task using the code of another user assumes the entry of their password, it is more secure to impose, for the majority of users, that the launch of task is performed from their own account.

Screen management

Entry screen

Presentation

This screen is used to identify:

  • the folder and launch user of the request (if the user code is modified, it is compulsory to enter the password of the entered user).
  • the request ( task or group of tasks to be launched), and the date and time of the requested launch.

Close

 

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Block number 1

Use this field to define the code of the folder in which this submission query must be launched.

Use this field to define the code of the user launching this submission query. This field is mandatory.
  • Password (field PASSE)

Use this field to enter the password of the user launching this submission query.

Block number 2

It defines a group of tasks to be launched.

It defines the code of the task that will be launched automatically by the batch server.

Use this field to define the code for the language to be launched automatically by the batch server.
  • Date (field DAT)

This field defines the planned start date for this query.
  • Time (field HEURE)

This field defines the planned start time (on the defined date) for this query.
  • Template (field JOBMOD)

If this field is selected (ticked), a file containing the defined parameters for this query will be generated in the template file directory (batch server parameters) and the query will not be submitted to the server. The file name is the task code suffixed with '.mod'. The file becomes a template that can be used to create the .job files that permit creation of the batch requests.

Close

 

Specific Buttons

This button validates the choices made and can lead to the opening of a window making it possible to enter the launch parameters for the task (the contents of this window depend on the task).

If the box Template is not checked, the validation of the parameters leads to the display of a confirmation message. This message is as follows: Request submitted to the server. It is followed by a number in brackets that is the number of the request, or the number of the first request in the group (this is an order number that is also found on the other requests in the group). The number thus given identifies in a unique fashion the task(s), and makes it possible to find them in the request management. If the box Template is checked, one or more messages Creation of the file XXXX is displayed to indicate that template files have been created.

Error messages

In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :

Access level insufficient

The task or the group of tasks to be launched is a level higher than the level of batch tasks that the user has the right to launch.

Function not authorized

The function that the user wishes to launch is not authorized for this user (their function profile does not permit them to launch it whether directly or in batch mode).

Request inactive

The task to be launched is not active: the request could therefore not be launched.

Inactive group

The group of tasks to be launched is not active: the request could therefore not be launched.

Password incorrect

Another user code has been entered and the associated password has not been entered correctly.
