This parameter specifies whether or not the Scheduler will execute tasks that have been scheduled in the past, but have not yet been executed.

Configuration type: DB2 Administration Server

Applies to: DB2 Administration Server

Parameter type: Configurable

Default [range]: No [Yes; No ]

The Scheduler only detects expired tasks when it starts up. For example, if you have a job scheduled to run every Saturday, and the Scheduler is turned off on Friday and then restarted on Monday, the job scheduled for Saturday is now a job that is scheduled in the past. If exec_exp_task is set to Yes, your Saturday job will run when the Scheduler is restarted.

This parameter can only be updated from a Version 8 command line processor (CLP).
