Understanding Cron Syntax In The Job Scheduler - Novell PLATESPIN ORCHESTRATE 2.0.2 - DEVELOPMENT CLIENT REFERENCE 08-28-2009 Reference

Multiple environment variables can be specified by delimiting with a comma, as in the
following example:
--env=PATH,LD_PATH,ID
NOTE: The user's environment variables can also be passed to the server when the user implements
the zos command line tool when running a job (as opposed to logging in). The command passes the
environment variable only for that particular job run.
zos run jobname --env=environment_variable
Constraints
This tab displays a constraint editor that you can use to create additional constraints for the job being
scheduled. Typically, additional "resource constraints" (such as "start") are useful to delay the start
of a job when it is triggered. For more information about working with constraints, see "Constraints"
in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 Developer Guide and

3.1.3 Understanding Cron Syntax in the Job Scheduler

The cron triggers you can configure in the PlateSpin Orchestrate Job Scheduler use a Quartz
crontrigger class for deciding when to invoke job execution. This is based on the standard Quartz
format that you can find further described on the
quartz/wikidocs/CronTriggers%20Tutorial.html)
