Job | The job identification code.

Use External Sched | If this check box is selected, the time schedule is not used. When the Use External Sched check box is selected, an outside program (for example, UNIX or an external Job scheduler such as Maestro from UNISON) determines when to run a particular job. So, in that case the calendar/time schedule within Tools is ignored.

Calendar | The calendar that specifies the execution dates and times for a periodical job. Note If you do not use a calendar you can specify the period interval between two executions using the Period field and the Period field in the Job Data (ttaad5100s000) session.
