Requesting TIME-initiated EXECs with the TIMEXEC application
The TIMEXEC application manages time-initiated EXEC requests by using the CALLX service to schedule your specified EXEC based on time. It extracts and formats system, job, and time data from a target and BBI. It then passes this information to the EXEC as variables in 10 standard parameters that can be used within the EXEC logic.
For information about how your automation with time-initiated EXECs can be affected when you change the MVS Local Time to observe daylight savings time, see Managing-daylight-saving-time-and-time-initiated-automation.
The Time Initiated (TI) view is shown in the following figure:

Use the following hyperlinks to display additional dialogs:
- Add single EXEC request: enter a Target and EXEC Name (required fields) and additional optional scheduling information for EXECs you want to schedule on a time basis
- Add BLK request: enter a Target and the name of a BBPARM member where timer-driven requests are grouped (Target and BLK name are required fields)
See Block-of-CALLX-requests for more information.
You can also enter the following commands to display the dialogs:
- ADDEXEC
- BLK
For more information about how to use the Add single EXEC request or Add BLK request dialogs, press PF1 to access the online help.
You can use the P line command (Purge) for any of the displayed EXECs to stop the EXEC.
The TI view also displays TIME-initiated Rules that are running in the PAS. You cannot use the P line command to stop or purge TIME-initiated Rules. To stop a TIME-initiated Rule, disable the Rule from the RULESR view.
