Field Descriptions
If you submit the job without specifying its EXECUTOR-PROGRAM attribute, the job
adopts the DEFAULT-EXECUTOR-PROGRAM scheduler attribute. To display this
scheduler attribute, use the Scheduler Info screen.
When you specify a remote executor program, the job runs in the CPU assigned to its
executor, but it runs on the remote system. If the CPU is unavailable, the next available
CPU on the remote system is used. While the job is running, the corresponding CPU
on the local system remains available for use by local jobs. Failure of the remote CPU
stops the job but not the executor.
The home terminal of the executor program process is the scheduler process. Any
processes created by the executor program process also uses the scheduler process
as the home terminal unless otherwise specified with the run option TERM.
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.
In
Use the In field to set the IN job attribute. The attribute specifies the input file of the job.
To set the attribute, enter the Guardian name of the file. The file can be a device, a disk
file, or a process.
You must specify the IN attribute for every job you submit, regardless of whether the
executor program requires an input file. If the executor program does not require an
input file, you can specify a dummy file. Executor programs not requiring input files
include the File Utility Program (FUP) and the Disk Space Analysis Program (DSAP).
An input file must contain commands compatible with a job’s executor program. For
example, if a TACL process is the executor program, the file must contain TACL
commands.
Users with write access to your job input file can alter any attribute of or delete a job
that uses the file. Using the input file as a medium, these users can also assume your
level of security. They can modify the input file to delete your files, change your
password, and so on. To avoid compromising system security, secure your input files
using the Safeguard distributed security management facility or the Guardian standard
security system.
