Issue/Introduction

Using CA Jobtrac JM r11, this Knowledge Document will show you how to find out if an event will be scheduled on a certain date.

Things to consider when running forecasts:

• CA Datacom must be active.
  
  
• CA Jobtrac JM must have been initialized.
  
  
• If a forecast schedule is run for current date, late indicators can be posted to the event status.
  
  
• Once a schedule is loaded to the forecast database, you can make changes through the ISPF interface.
  
  
• All the events for a forecast token can be cleared off before schedule load.
  
  
• You can then start new, or you can load additional schedules.
  
  
• If you attempt to specify the production database for a forecast, the forecast issues a message and terminates the forecast.
  The forecast checkpoint looks and acts like the production schedule, but no events will submit.
