Sleep Wake Process
Use this page to monitor and control sleep/wake processing that has been set up for specific Banner processes in the Student System and the Accounts Receivable System. Sleep/wake processing is a method of running a process in a cyclical manner. Note: Sleep/wake processing requires specific setups on the Printer Validation (GTVPRNT) page, System Distribution Initialization Information (SOADEST or TOADEST), and the Process Submission Control (GJAPCTL) page. After sleep/wake processing is set up, you can use GJASWPT to: Change the number of seconds in the processing cycle by entering a new value in the Next cycle time field. The job "sleeps" until this time interval passes. Then it "wakes up" and performs any necessary processing. Stop sleep/wake processing for the process by entering N in the Continue to Run field. The process continues processing until the next time it "wakes up" and completes the processing cycle. Monitor whether any jobs ended abnormally, when the process last executed, when the process will execute next, the number of rows processed in the last wake interval, and the total number of rows processed from when the process started. Go to the GJASWPT form and set up your process and printer. Ensure that “continue to run” parameter to Y allowing the process to run throughout the day.
