Field Descriptions
specified. Job selection is by job submission time if jobs with the same SELPRI 
attribute are scheduled to run at the same time.
To set the attribute, enter an integer in the range 0 (lowest selection priority) through 7 
(highest selection priority). The default value is 3. 
Pri
Use the Pri field to set the DEFAULT-PRI scheduler attribute. The attribute specifies 
the execution priority of the executor program process of a job whose PRI attribute is 
not specified. The attribute is adopted by any process created by the job if the priority 
of that process is not stated explicitly.
To set the attribute, enter an integer in the range 1 (lowest execution priority) through 
199 (highest execution priority). The default value is 120. 
Backupcpu
Use the Backupcpu field to set the BACKUPCPU scheduler attribute. The attribute 
specifies the CPU where the scheduler creates its backup process. The scheduler 
creates the process when you perform the F10–Start function or when a CPU fails. The 
Backup field shows the number of the CPU where the backup process is currently 
running.
To specify the backup CPU, enter one of:
•
An integer identifying a CPU on the system specified for the primary scheduler 
process. The backup CPU cannot be the same as the primary CPU. If the CPU is 
unavailable when you press F10 or fails during processing, the scheduler creates 
the backup process in any available CPU. The process is not switched to the CPU 
specified by the attribute if that CPU subsequently becomes available.
•
An asterisk (*) to specify any CPU available on the system specified for the primary 
scheduler process. 
You can alter the BACKUPCPU attribute of an active scheduler, but the change does 
not take effect until one of these conditions exists:
•
The scheduler is shut down with the F12–Shutdown function and reactivated with 
the F9–Run and F10–Start functions.
•
The primary scheduler process stops. When the process stops, the backup 
process becomes the primary, and the scheduler creates a new backup in the 
specified CPU.
•
The backup scheduler process stops. When the process stops, the scheduler 
creates a new backup in the specified CPU.
The default value is *.
