Specifying a Job’s Class and Selection Priority
The CLASS and SELPRI attributes assign a job to a class and specify the job’s
selection priority in that class. The class links the job to an executor and hence to the
executor’s CPU. This link enables the scheduler to start, in the specified CPU, the job’s
executor-program process.
Example
This example shows submission of three jobs assigned to class DEFAULT. The class’s
INITIATION attribute before job submission is set to OFF, which prevents the scheduler
from selecting the jobs. The INITIATION attribute is set to ON after job submission,
which enables the scheduler to select and run the jobs. The jobs’ SELPRI attributes
determine their execution order.
