Hi,

Can soeone please tell me what is SCHID in CA-7 and why we need to run jobs in different SCHID?

From the CA-7 Primer manual Glossary:

schedule ID. A scheduling variation. A job can have up to 255 different scheduling variations, each with its own schedule ID, scheduling criteria, requirements, and triggers.

Example: you have a job that runs every day at 10 PM, but on Saturdays and Sundays you want the job to run at 8 PM since the onlines come down earlier. Set up one SCHID for Mondays through Fridays that is time-triggered at 10 PM; set up another SCHID for Saturdays and Sundays that is time-triggered at 8 PM.

Thanks Robert, you're helpful.

I'll try to get the CA-7 Primer manual also.
