Purpose

To find required Output from a successfully completed job in order to re-send it to a specified destination

SubSystem

Job Control & Scheduling

This form is used to re-send the output from a job that has been run previously. Output can be sent to one of the original recipients or to one or more new recipients.

A request job can have one or more outputs, and one or more destinations for each output. The possibilities are explained in the section Output from Jobs in the Subsystem Introduction. In addition, a particular request may be scheduled to run on more than one occasion. It is therefore possible that a job within one request may produce many output items in total. This form displays a list of all the occasions on which the context output was successfully produced, for the context job request.

The Re-send function applies to a single output from a single job run.

The following scenarios illustrate the re-send function.

Scenario 1

A hypothetical job which prints class lists, was run in Request Number 147 and produced two output files (Note: Most jobs produce only one output). The first output was directed to a Printer, the second, an advice message, sent as Email to two tutors, James and Jill, whose email addresses are 'jak@callistauni.edu.au' and 'jillm@callistauni.edu.au'. The printed list is Output Number 1; the Email is Output Number 2, with Destination Numbers 1 (James) and 2 (Jill). The request was scheduled to run twice, on 20^th July and 3^rd August.

Jill didn't receive her email the second time, and the faculty officer is now going to re-send it.

He must;

• Locate the request and select the job in JBSF5210,
• Select the Job Output button to invoke JBSF5230,
• Select the Email Job Output record,
• Select the Job Run Output button to invoke this form,
• Select the particular Job Run Output record required from the displayed list of occasions that the job has successfully produced output,
• Select the Re-send Output button to display the overlay in which the recipient can be selected,
• Select the Email Address record for Jill and
• Select OK.

The output will automatically be re-sent to Jill.

Scenario 2

The faculty officer realised that he should also have sent both outputs from the Scenario 1 job, run on 3 August, to the Course Coordinator, Sue and the School Secretary, Jane.

To re-send the output to the two new recipients he must;

• Locate the request and select the job in JBSF5210,
• Select the Job Output button to invoke JBSF5230,
• Select the first Job Output record,
• Select the Job Run Output button to invoke this form,
• Select the particular Job Run Output record required,
• Select the Re-direct Output button to display the overlay in which the email addresses for Sue and Jane can be recorded,
• Select OK, and
• Repeat for the second job output record

This form is navigated to from JBSF5210, via the Job Output button (bottom block), then via the Job Run Output button (top block) in JBSF5230.
