Issue/Introduction

Due to business requirements, you may need to change the Scheduler's AUTOSCAN time to occur for 1 day only.

Resolution

Issue the MVS modify command to Scheduler to adjust the Autoscan time.

 

F caschd,AUTOSCAN TIME=120+       where 120 is in minutes after the scheduled AUTOSCAN time

F caschd,AUTOSCAN TIME=120-        where 120 is in minutes before the scheduled AUTOSCAN time

Here is an example of the procedure to take before and after the change of time.   

Normal AUTOSCAN time occurs at 8:00 am on 11/21/19

Temporary AUTOSCAN time to occur at 10:40 am on 11/20/19

 

Display current Autoscan time, go to

3  COMMAND  - Build a command for CA Scheduler     then    

D2 DISPLAY     then

2  DATE      - Autoscan Information           

This should display the current AUTOSCAN information.

A WTOR will be displayed and respond OK
