Field Descriptions
•
Use the $RELEASE command if the master job’s executor program is an NBEXEC
process
You can place the macro or command anywhere in the input files of the master jobs.
For information on ZBAT:RELEASE and $RELEASE, see the NetBatch User’s Guide.
A dependent, recurrent job always depends on its master jobs. A dependent job does
not run again when rescheduled until released once more by its masters. An R (for
Released) displayed next to the field indicates the master job has released the
dependent job.
Pri
Use the Pri field to set the PRI job attribute. The attribute specifies the execution
priority of the executor program process of the 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 the job without specifying its PRI attribute, the job adopts the
DEFAULT-PRI scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler attribute, use the
Scheduler Info screen.
Restart
Use the Restart field to set the RESTART job attribute. The attribute specifies whether
the job is restarted automatically if it fails during execution for any of the following
reasons:
•
The executor program process stops or abends with completion code 7. This code
indicates to the scheduler the job is to be restarted if its RESTART attribute is ON.
For more information about completion codes, see the Guardian Procedure Calls
Reference Manual.
•
The executor program process terminates because of CPU failure. This does not
apply if the process has a backup that successfully takes over job execution.
•
A process created by the executor program process terminates because of CPU
failure, and the job has the attribute STOP-ON-ABEND ON.
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.
