HIGHPIN Job Attribute
The HIGHPIN job attribute determines whether a job’s executor-program process runs
at a low PIN or at a high PIN. The attribute is available only in D20 or later versions of
the NetBatch product.
OFF
causes the executor-program process to run at a low PIN (a PIN in the range 0
through 254).
ON
causes the executor-program process to run at a high PIN (a PIN in the range 256
through 65535) when both these conditions exist:
•
A high PIN is available in the CPU of the job’s executor.
•
The executor program has high PIN capabilities. That is, the program
has been
specifically written or compiled to run at a high PIN. (TACL,
compiler, and BINDER options exist to control PIN assignment and to indicate
server support of high PIN requester processes.)
Considerations
•
A job submitted without the HIGHPIN attribute adopts the DEFAULT-
HIGHPIN
scheduler attribute. To display the value of this attribute, use the INFO
SCHEDULER command.
•
The operating system generates a name for the executor-program process
of a job
submitted without the NAME attribute. A low PIN process is given a four-
character name and a high PIN process is given a five-character name.
•
The scheduler plays no part in determining the PIN of processes created by
an
executor program (the operating system performs this function).
•

compatibility, see Section 1, NetBatch Introduction.
