Multi-Machine Scheduler

Abstract

This automated job scheduling system allows the user to dynamically schedule externally, as well as internally, the processing of jobs within an MVS environment. Its primary function is to provide effective computer use with a minimum of manual intervention. Complete updating and reporting capabilities are available to the user to aid in scheduling and controlling the environment. A simulation reporting process is available that uses the same scheduling algorithm that is used at actual execution time. The system can be operated in batch mode or remotely by terminal utilizing the Time Sharing Option (TSO). The software is written in the COBOL and Assembly programming languages for implementation on an AMDAHL 5890 computer using the MVS/XA operating system. Source tape is in EBCDIC character set. Character set restricts preparation to 9 track, one-half inch tape only. Computer program documentation; Magnetic tape. (EDC)
