Cyclic Jobs. Is there a max run no

[mulvida]

I have a job that will need to run every 5 mins almost all day.

Is there a limit to the number of times a job can run without breaking.

If I need to break it up into two or three consecutive jobs, say 200 each, I can do that.

Anyone know for sure?

Hi,

It exists a MAXRERUN field used only for DO RERUN function.
But concerning CYCLIC job I don't know any limit.

If you want to break you CYCLIC job, you must use STOP CYCLIC function and %%RUNCOUNT autoedit variable.

I know how to stop one and start one.

My concern is if there is a maximum number of times you can run a cyclic job without causing Control-M problems.

I need to run this thing every 2 minutes from 0745 to 1700 every day.

If there is a max number, I will just create a couple of jobs and break the string up, but I can not find it documented anywhere.

Hi

There is no limit to the number of time you can run a cyclic job.

So be carefull about it, if you run every 2 mins your job, you will increased LOG table, adding almost 10 lines by execution for the same job.

You can limit number of runs by time window using FROM and UNTIL if cyclic job is submitted at regular interval.
