Submitting request groups as a batch job
This section explains how to work with AutoStrobe groups by using batch jobs. To submit a request group as a batch job, select Option G (SUBMIT A GROUP) from the Strobe- Batch-Submission Options panel.
Strobe displays the Strobe- Batch-Submission of Request Groups panel. The format of the dates and times on this panel depends on the date and time formats specified in the Strobe parameter data set.
To submit a request group as a batch job, type U next to the name of the request group and press Enter.
To submit a request group for processing at a later time or a later date, type T next to the name of the request group you want to schedule and press Enter. The Strobe- Request Scheduler panel appears. From this panel, you can set up a schedule for Strobeto automatically initiate measurement sessions for the requests in the request group on the dates and times that you specify. For information about scheduling individual requests and request groups, see Using-AutoStrobe-Scheduling.
