Creating a job

You can create a job to run standard or custom tasks.

When you create a job, you supply the following information:

A name and an optional description for the job.
The task that the job runs. The task must already be defined in the task registry. For more information, see Creating a task.
Any arguments that must be passed to the executable associated with the task when it runs. For a standard task that operates on VOBs or views, you can specify that the task operates on particular VOBs or views, or on all VOBs or views on the local host.
The schedule on which the job runs.
Job-related events that trigger e-mail notifications and recipients for the notifications. See Specifying job notifications.
Whether the scheduler should delete the job after it runs.

To create a job, you can use the Rational® ClearCase® Administration Console or the cleartool schedule command.

To use the Rational ClearCase Administration Console, navigate to the Scheduled Jobs node for the host on which you want the new job to run, and then click Action > New > Job to open a window in which you supply the information needed to define a new job.
To use the cleartool schedule command, type this command:
cleartool schedule –edit –schedule
This command opens in a text editor a file that contains definitions for all currently scheduled jobs. To create a job, add a definition that uses the job-definition syntax documented on the schedule reference page. You cannot specify any read-only job properties, such as LastCompletionInfo. The job runs in the environment described on the schedule reference page.
