EXECUTOR-PROGRAM Job Attribute
The EXECUTOR-PROGRAM job attribute specifies the program file of the program the
scheduler starts as the initial process of a job.
file-name
is the name of a program file.
BATCHCOM expands a partially qualified executor-program file name by using the
defaults specified in the last VOLUME command. If there was no such command,
the defaults current at the start of the session apply. If the resulting expanded
name specifies a nonexistent file, BATCHCOM uses $SYSTEM.SYSTEM for
expansion purposes. For example, file ID FUP expands to
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.FUP, not $DATA7.USER.FUP, because FUP does not exist in
subvolume $DATA7.USER:
> FILES
No files match \MELBDEV.$DATA7.USER.*

Considerations
•
A job submitted without the EXECUTOR-PROGRAM attribute adopts the
DEFAULT-EXECUTOR-PROGRAM scheduler attribute. To display the value of this
attribute, use the INFO SCHEDULER command.
•
A job with a remote executor program runs in the CPU specified by its
executor, but
on the remote node. If the specified CPU is unavailable on the
remote node, the scheduler runs the job in the node’s highest-numbered CPU.
•
The home terminal of a job’s executor-program process is the scheduler
unless
specified otherwise by the TERM attribute. However, the scheduler plays
no part in determining the home terminal of processes created by that process.
(The program performs this function independently of the scheduler.)
