Finding which applications use a run cycle group

About this task

Prior to modifying or deleting a run cycle group in the database, it might be useful to find which applications use the run cycle group.

To get a list of the applications that are defined to use a run cycle group:
  1. Follow the same steps necessary to browse a run cycle group in the database.
  2. When you are in the RUN CYCLE GROUP IN THE DATABASE panel, press the PF4 key (Actions), use the TABS key to position your cursor under the Link item, and press ENTER.
    A pop-up window is displayed, listing the following items:
    • 1. Link Calendar (LINKCAL)
    • 2. Link Application (LINKAD)
  3. Write 2 and press ENTER.
    A list of the applications that are scheduled based on the run cycle group is displayed. The following details are provided (you must scroll to the right to view them completely):
    • The application ID and its description.
    • The dates marking the time interval that the application can run.
    • The application type (application or group definition).
    • The application status (active or pending), which determines whether or not the application can be selected for processing.
    • The name of the application owner.
    • The priority.
    • The total number of run cycles defined for the application.
    • The number of operations defined for the application.
    • The date and time the application was last updated and by which user ID.
    • The authority group that the application belongs to.
    • The name of the calendar used. The DEFAULT calendar is listed if none was specified. No calendar is shown for groups (in this case, the calendar ID is determined in the group description.
    • The group definition name where the calendar and run cycle information is stored for the application.
    • The smoothing factor (DSF) that controls how actual deadline data is used and determines the level of feedback of the new estimated deadline.
    • The feedback limit (DFL) that establishes the limits within which feedback data (actual deadline) is considered normal and acceptable.
