Dissociating a Process From a Job
In some cases, you might want to prevent a process from receiving its creator’s
GMOMJOBID so the process executes outside scheduler control. For example, you
might want a NOWAIT Pathway process dissociated from the job that starts it.
To prevent a process from receiving a GMOMJOBID, specify run option JOBID 0 in the
process’s TACL RUN command. This option overrides the creator’s GMOMJOBID and
dissociates the process from the job. As a result, the scheduler does not receive
creation and completion information from the process. Also, no control of the process
is possible through the scheduler. For example, the STOP JOB command stops and
deletes all processes having the job’s GMOMJOBID, but not the dissociated process
(see Figure 4-8).
For more information about run option JOBID, see the TACL Reference Manual.
