The runcron facility invokes the cron server for scheduling jobs.  This server will execute scheduled jobs requested from the users.  Several configuration variables has to be already defined for this routine to work properly.  They include:

  • sastemp - location to the temporary location where cron jobs are executed
  • config - location of SAS configuration file
  • sasroot - location of SAS root
  • scheduler application - application used for scheduling jobs

These parameters are defined in the %config utility.

Note that the optional refresh jobs parameters will kill and re-issue all jobs which is within the current time window.
