The following code example shows how to create a scheduled job in Job Scheduler on the command line. You can perform the same task using the ASE plug-in in the Sybase Central management tool.
When you create a name for a scheduled job, the name must begin with a letter. If you create a name beginning with a digit, an error occurs.
Creating a scheduled job that gathers statistics on a trial basis for one month
Create the schedule:
sp_sjobcreate @name='sname=Aug_stats_trial', @option='starttime=23:00,endtime=23:00,repeats=1day,startdate=1 August 2005,enddate=31 August 2005'
Create the job:
sp_sjobcreate @name='jname=new_stats_proc', @option='jcmd=''exec statsdb.. new_stats_proc'',jdesc=New statistics proc.,jproperties=shared'
Create a scheduled job on a server called “devtest1”:
sp_sjobcreate @name='sjname=new_stats_devtest1', @option='sname=Aug_stats_trial,jname=new_stats_proc,server=devtest1'
The server name assigned to the scheduled job is the network name (the pname property in sp_addserver) in the interfaces file, not the logical name defined in the sysservers table.
