Information Systems:Overnight ENDOFDAY

The scheduler starts this job at 1:00AM; every morning except Sunday - when the End of Week is called. This job will -

- End all programs that use ASW or extension files, and end subsystems so users cannot sign on.

- Do a 'temporary' backup of data libraries only. This uses tape '999999', which has a retention period of one day so that it can be over written every night. It can be used if something happens during the overnight processing, to quickly restore a file the next day if needed (without having to call the tape from off site storage), and to rebuild the test environment.

- Run updates, reports, and housekeeping (clear work files and out queues, and delete unnecessary spool files).

The program is EODDAILY in library UNIPHARMIT.

- Sends the first email message - 'EOD starting (2:15 3:00 5:00 6:30)'.

- Calls EODEND2, which will end all processes that can use either ASW or extension files. This does not end Domino, so that I.T. staff will receive the emails being sent.

- Calls EOD

- Sends the second email message - 'Daily overnite processing ended normally' - at about 2:15AM.

- Resets the submit time for this job on the scheduler to 1:00AM. This is in case a warehouse supervisor has delayed it.
