Scheduling a job network means defining dates and times at which it is to run. A job network is activated (copied into the active database) according to its scheduled starting time and additional schedule parameters defined for the network.

While processing a network, the Entire Operations Monitor checks whether all prerequisites for a job are fulfilled (time, resources, input conditions). According to the result it will automatically start the job and keep track of it.

For more information, refer to the sections Defining a Network Schedule and Schedule Maintenance in the User's Guide.
