This documentation outlines conditions which dictate that a job be scheduled in order to run on the USC computer system. Questions about its content should be referred to a consultant at 777-6865. Any step requires more than two concurrent round tapes.
Any step requires more than three concurrent cartridge tapes.
To schedule a job, call a consultant at 777-6865 prior to job submission and tell the receptionist that you need to schedule a job. Other information, such as the amount of temporary disk space required or the number of tapes being accessed, may also be pertinent. While scheduling a job does not guarantee that the job will run within any specific time frame, it does alert Operations staff that the scheduled job is awaiting execution. Given the information provided on the scheduling form, Operations staff must gauge the total system impact of the job, and submit it for execution at the earliest possible opportunity for successful completion. Failure to schedule jobs which fall into the categories described above may result in job cancellation if required resources are not readily available.
