Issue/Introduction

Question:

Is there a way to tell what jobs run between 1am and 6am on Sunday morning?
Our maintenance window is changing from 6:00 am - 10:00 am to 1:00 am - 6:00 am so we will need to change any requests currently scheduled during that time.

 

Answer:

Yes, you can run VM:Schedule's VMDRPT utility to obtain this information.   Using VMDRPT can help you monitor systems and operations scheduling and provide other departments with listings of their VM:Schedule requests.   It creates reports that help you track requests in the VM:Schedule request database and maintain historical data for reference later.

VMDRPT enables you to:

Produce a report that lists requests in the VM:Schedule request database.

Include specific requests in the report.

Exclude specific requests from the report.

Sort and position requests in report fields.

 

Additional Information:

You can find more information about the VMDRPT utility in the VM:Schedule System Administrator's Guide.
