Time monitors (*TIME) use the IBM i job scheduler to determine when to run condition and event programs. You can set the monitor object definition to run a job once or at regular intervals, based on the date and time of day. The master monitor controls all monitor object definitions for time monitors. The master monitor adds a job schedule entry for each time monitor and periodically verifies that the job is properly scheduled. The job name is the same as the monitor name. If the monitor object definition is ended the job schedule entry is removed. When the scheduled date and time occur, the condition program runs. If the conditions are met, the event program runs. For more information see Master monitor.
