Editing Phantom Process Schedules

Use the Phantom Job Scheduler Maintenance screen to edit the time and date when processes run or the user ID to notify when the process is complete. You can edit a process schedule temporarily without affecting the scheduled default. After the phantom runs with your changes, it restores the original schedule date and time.

You might also need to reset the user ID for a scheduled Phantom process when an employee at your company leaves. You can search for scheduled Phantom processes by user ID that scheduled the Phantom and also by user IDs that are on the forward list for a process.

Note: To change the parameters for which your report is running, such as branches or buy lines, you need to cancel the report and re-schedule it.

To edit a Phantom process schedule:

Select System > Phantom Status to display the Phantom Status window.
On the Phantom Status window, select File > Edit Schedule to display the Phantom Job Scheduler Maintenance window.

In the User ID field, either leave the field blank and click Update to display every scheduled process, or enter a user ID and click Update to display only processes which that user has created, owned, or scheduled.

The window displays the name of the active phantom process, the ID of the user to notify when the phantom process is complete, and the Eclipse internal program name for the scheduled process in the Title, User ID, and Program fields, respectively.

To search for all Phantoms that contain a particular user on the Forward To list, leave the User ID field blank to display every scheduled Phantom process. Then use the Selection menu and enter the user ID you want to search for in the Select Forward ID field.

Edit the following fields, as needed:

Column	Description
Next Date	The date to make a temporary change to the run schedule of the program. Select File > Adjust to enter a temporary next run date for all jobs displayed in the window.
Next Time	The time to make a temporary change to the run schedule of the program. Select File > Adjust to enter a temporary next run time for all jobs displayed in the window. Note: If you are viewing scheduled processes for all user IDs, you are able to adjust the time or date for every user's scheduled jobs. Be careful to only adjust the processes you want to when using the adjust functionality.
Title	The title of the scheduled process.
User ID	The user to notify when the process is complete. This is most often the process owner.

Note: To permanently change a phantom process on this window, place the cursor on the process and select Schedule > Edit to display the Phantom Scheduler window. You can make all permanent edits in this window. Depending upon your authorization level, when you edit any Report Writer or GL Report Generator processes, the system displays the report drivers for those processes, allowing you to edit as necessary.

Use the additional options, as needed:

Save your changes and exit the window.

More Options on the Phantom Job Scheduler Maintenance Window

You can manage your print jobs using the following options:

Menu Option	Function
Schedule > Edit	Displays the Phantom Scheduler window to permanently change any settings for the selected report. For more information, see Scheduling Phantom Processes.
Schedule > Delete	Deletes the selected phantom program from the scheduler. The system asks you to confirm the deletion.
Selection > Select Criteria	Limits the processes displayed on the window defined by your selection criteria. Use these selections together with the File > Adjust menu option to reschedule a group of processes all at once. Select Dates < chooses processes scheduled to run before the indicated date. Select Dates > chooses processes scheduled to run after the indicated date. Select Times < chooses processes scheduled to run before the indicated time. Select Pattern selects processes containing a pattern in the title or program name. Select Forward ID - Selects processes that contain the user ID you enter in the Forward To list. Forward To lists are defined using the File > Forward option in the Phantom Job Scheduler Maintenance window. The Select Forward ID option is only available if you leave the User ID field blank in the Phantom Job Scheduler Maintenance window. Note: If you are viewing scheduled processes for all user IDs, you are able to adjust the time or date for every user's scheduled jobs, so be careful to only adjust the processes you want to when using the adjust functionality.
File > Forward	Forwards a copy of the process to other users. Enter the user IDs in the Forward To window. Click the check box to designate the copy as "View Only."
Right-Click > Put on Hold	Suspends the job indefinitely. This option allows you to troubleshoot system performance and review the effect of running specific print jobs during peak operation times. Note: You can suspend more than one print job at a time. Use the Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click to select more than one print job.
Right-Click > Resume Schedule	Starts the suspended job from where it left off. If you have put more than one print job on hold, you can resume one at a time, in groups, or all together.
