Field Descriptions
To set the attribute, enter the name of an existing class.
If you submit the job without specifying its CLASS attribute, the job adopts the
DEFAULT-CLASS scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler attribute, use the
Scheduler Info screen.
A scheduler selects jobs from a class whose executor is available (that is, the
executor’s state is ON) in this order:
•
Jobs with a state of RUNNOW have the highest priority. They execute as soon as
you perform the F5–Run Now function on this screen or the Job Status screen.
•
Jobs with a state of RUNNEXT take priority over all jobs except those with a state
of RUNNOW. They execute as soon as an executor associated with their class is
available. When more than one job has the RUNNEXT state, selection is by
SELPRI attribute. If RUNNEXT jobs have the same SELPRI attribute, selection is
by submission time.
•
Jobs with a state other than RUNNOW or RUNNEXT. The scheduler selects these
jobs by their SELPRI attribute. Selection of jobs scheduled to run at the same time
and with the same SELPRI attribute is by submission time.
When you display the screen, the field shows the name of one of these classes:
•
The class from the defaults set associated with the signed-on user. The
NetBatch-Plus application shows the name of this class if you display the screen
when no functions have been performed during the current session.
•
The class that was the subject, directly or indirectly, of the last function performed
during the current session.
Job Name
Use the Job Name field to enter the name of the job. The name must be unique and
contain from 1 to 24 letters and numbers. It can also contain hyphens (-). The name
must begin with a letter and end with any letter or number but not a hyphen.
No
Use the No field to enter the job number identifying the job you want to display with the
F1–Read function. The field offers you an alternative to identifying the job by name.
The scheduler assigns numbers to jobs at submission time. For information about how
the numbers are assigned, see the F3–Submit function description.
Exec. Prg.
Use the Exec. Prg. field to set the EXECUTOR-PROGRAM job attribute. The attribute
specifies the program used to process the job input file.
To set the attribute, enter the Guardian name of the program file.
