Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to tell what jobs are run between a specific timeframe?

Resolution

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.
