Issue/Introduction

How can I schedule a job to wait for 2 hours after it is triggered to run?  Can the queue time (QTM) field on the job trigger accomplish this?

Resolution

The method to delay a job is to have the job that currently performs the trigger execute a trailer step instead of the trigger and issue the CA 7 command,

DEMAND,JOB=jobname,TIME=+0200   (hhmm)

QTM time is only used to calculate the DEADLINE START TIME which controls when a job is flagged LATE in CA 7.
