Arguments

For all objects which can be defined in a folder, such as jobs, job streams, workstations, and so on, you can optionally specify the folder where the object is defined. If no folder is specified, the root folder is used by default.

[folder/]workstation

Specifies the name of the workstation on which the job stream runs. Except when also using schedid, wildcard characters are permitted.

[folder/]jobstreamname

Specifies the name of the job stream. Wildcard characters are permitted.

(hhmm [date])

Indicates the time and date the job stream instance is located in the preproduction plan. This value corresponds to the value assigned to the schedtime keyword in the job stream definition if no at time constraint was set. After the job stream instance started processing the value of hhmm [date] is set to the time the job stream started. The use of wildcards in this field is not allowed. When issuing in line conman commands from the shell prompt enclose the conman command in double quotation marks ("). For example, run this command as follows:

conman "ss my_workstation#my_js(2101 02/23)"

jobstreamqualifier

See “Job Stream Qualifiers below.

jobstream_id

Specifies the unique alphanumerical job stream identifier automatically generated by the planner and assigned to that job stream. It is mainly used by internal processes to identify that instance of the job stream within the production plan, but it can often be used also when managing the job stream from the conman command-line program by specifying the ;schedid option.

schedid

Indicates that the job stream identifier is used in selecting the job stream.

Note: HCL Workload Automation helps you to identify the correct job stream instance when the job stream selection provides an ambiguous result if more than one instance satisfy your selection criteria. For example when more than one instances of WK1#J1 are included in the production plan and so the job stream selection provides an ambiguous result the following prompt is automatically generated to allow you to choose the correct instance:

Process WK1#J1[(0600 03/04/19),(0AAAAAAAAAAAABTB)] 
        (enter "y" for yes, "n" for no)?y
Command forwarded to batchman for WK1#J1[(0600 03/04/19),(0AAAAAAAAAAAABTB)]
Process WK1#J1[(1010 03/04/19),(0AAAAAAAAAAAABTC)] 
        (enter "y" for yes, "n" for no)

In the output only the job stream instance scheduled on

(0600
                                        03/04/19)

and with identifier 0AAAAAAAAAAAABTB is selected to run the command.
