Task 2. Determine Scheduler Numbers and
Attributes
Figure 3-2 shows details of schedulers planned for the three-node system from the job
planning example earlier in this subsection. Most of the details derive from information
in the job table (Figure 3-1 on page 3-2). For example, the TACL program is the default
executor program for scheduler \PROD.$ZBAT because most jobs on \PROD are
TACL jobs. Information not derived from the job table comes from the planner’s system
knowledge. For example, scheduler \DEV.$TEST will run in underutilized CPUs on
\DEV.
INITIATION Enables or disables job startup by the
scheduler
ON
LOCALNAMES Makes the scheduler treat jobs submitted
from licensed requesters on the specified
nodes as local jobs, not as remote jobs
