Scheduling a Periodic Run of the INVENTORY Utility

For auditing purposes, an administrator may want to automatically produce a version report on a periodic basis. The following is an example WFL job that, once started, will run the INVENTORY utility every day at 7:00 AM: 

BEGIN JOB INVENTORY/JOB;
    RUN *SYSTEM/INVENTORY ON DISK;
    START INVENTORY/JOB; STARTTIME = 07:00 ON + 1;
END JOB

For this WFL job to work, ensure the following:

  • The file title of the job is INVENTORY/JOB under the usercode you wish to start it from.

  • The usercode has the appropriate privileges to run the INVENTORY utility

  • The default family (either the DPFILES DL family or Halt/Load unit) has adequate free space.

See the Running a Job on a Regular Basis section in the WFL Made Simple manual for more tips.
