AT-ALLOWED Scheduler Attribute
AT-ALLOWED Scheduler Attribute
The AT-ALLOWED scheduler attribute determines whether users without execute
access to the NETBATCH program file (that is, users who are not NetBatch
supervisors) can submit jobs with the AT attribute. (Jobs with the AT attribute create
temporary executors that can overload your system. Preventing nonprivileged users
from using the attribute helps you prevent system overload.)
OFF
prevents users who are not NetBatch supervisors from submitting jobs with the AT
attribute. BATCHCOM displays this message when a scheduler with the AT-
ALLOWED OFF attribute rejects a submitted job:
2056-E AT-ALLOWED is currently OFF; submit AFTER time
ON
allows all users to submit jobs with the AT attribute.
Considerations
•
A scheduler adopts the attribute AT-ALLOWED OFF by default when cold
started.
•
The AT-ALLOWED OFF attribute only affects submission of jobs with the AT
attribute. It does not affect other scheduler operations. (Changing AT-ALLOWED
from ON to OFF does not prevent the scheduler from starting jobs submitted with
the AT attribute before the change.)
Example
This example shows the effect of the AT-ALLOWED attribute when set to OFF. The
attribute prevents a user who is not a NetBatch supervisor from submitting a job with
the AT attribute but lets a NetBatch supervisor submit the job.
