Field Descriptions
Job selection is by job submission time if jobs with the same SELPRI attribute are
scheduled to run at the same time.
Pri
Use the Pri field to set the PRI job attribute. The attribute specifies the execution
priority of the executor program process of a job. The attribute is adopted by any
process created by the job if the execution priority of that process is not explicitly
stated.
To set the attribute, enter an integer in the range 1 (lowest execution priority) through
199 (highest execution priority).
If you submit a job without specifying its PRI attribute, the job adopts the
DEFAULT-PRI scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler attribute, use the
Scheduler Info screen.
High PIN
Use the High PIN field to set the HIGHPIN job attribute. This attribute specifies whether
a job can be started in a high PIN.
Allowed values for this field are:
•
Y = ON (job can be started in a high PIN)
•
N = OFF (job cannot be started in a high PIN; default)
When a process runs at a high PIN, it cannot communicate with a remote C-series
process.
Drives
Use the Drives field to set the TAPEDRIVES job attribute. The attribute specifies the
number of tape drives required by a job.
To set the attribute, enter an integer in the range 0 through 99 specifying the number of
drives.
When you submit a job with the attribute, the scheduler checks the number of drives
required against its internal tape drives counter. If the number is:
•
Less than or equal to the counter, the job is scheduled immediately for execution.
•
Greater than the counter but no greater than the TAPEDRIVES scheduler attribute,
the job is scheduled for execution when the required number of drives is available.
Jobs waiting for tape drives are flagged with a state of TAPE.
Note. To prevent batch jobs from taking precedence over online applications, specify an
execution priority for those jobs that is less than the priority of the applications.
