Submitting Jobs
To submit jobs to a NetBatch scheduler, use:
•
The BATCHCOM command SUBMIT JOB
•
The NetBatch-Plus application
You also can submit jobs programmatically from user-written programs.
This subsection discusses job submission using the SUBMIT JOB command only:
For NetBatch-Plus information, see the NetBatch-Plus Reference Manual. For
information about programmatic job submission, see the NetBatch Management
Programming Manual.
Submitting a Job With the SUBMIT JOB Command
The SUBMIT JOB command submits a job to the scheduler. On accepting the job, the
scheduler assigns it a unique number in the range 1 through 32767 for systems
running G-series RVUs. For systems running H-series RVUs, the range is 1 through
9999. If the job was submitted without a name, the scheduler generates a name of the
form ZBAT-nnnn, where nnnn is the job’s number; for example, ZBAT-0016.
The scheduler’s SUBMIT-ALLOWED attribute controls use of the SUBMIT JOB
command. You can use the command when the attribute is set to ON but not when it is
set to OFF. To check the value of the attribute, use the INFO SCHEDULER command.
