ALTER EXECUTOR Command
executor-name-2
is the name of an executor whose attributes you want executor executor-name-1 to 
match.
attribute
is one of these executor attributes (see Section 7, Attributes):
CL[ASS] BBC{( AALVS1( class-name,( class-name [ , class-name 
]…),*) )
CP[U] cpu-number
attribute, when specified with LIKE, overrides executor-name-2 attributes of 
the same type.
Considerations
•
The ALTER EXECUTOR command is available to NetBatch supervisors only.
•
The CLASS executor attribute lets you assign up to eight existing classes to an 
executor. (An existing class is one added to the scheduler by the ADD CLASS 
command.) You also can use the attribute to dissociate classes from an executor.
°
To assign a class to an executor, specify the name of the class and the names 
of the executor’s pre-existing classes. If you specify only the name of the new 
class, the ALTER EXECUTOR command dissociates all other classes from the 
executor.
°
To dissociate a class from an executor, specify the names of the classes that 
are to remain assigned to the executor.
•
The order in which you assign classes to an executor determines the order in 
which the scheduler scans the classes for jobs. For example, assigning classes B 
and A to an executor (in that order) makes the scheduler scan class B before it 
scans class A. Jobs in class B therefore run before jobs in class A.
•
You can specify only one CPU per executor.
•
When you alter an executor’s CPU attribute, the change takes effect immediately 
unless the executor is in use by a job. In this case, the change does not take effect 
until the job finishes.
•
You can omit the object keyword EXECUTOR from the ALTER EXECUTOR 
command only when EXECUTOR is the current assumed object. For more 
information, see ASSUME EXECUTOR Command on page 6-71.
