JOBFENCE
Defines the minimum input priority that a job or session must have in
order to execute. (Native Mode)
Syntax
JOBFENCE priorityfence
Parameters
priorityfence A number between 0 and 14, inclusive. Within this
range, smaller numbers are less limiting; larger
numbers more limiting.
Operation Notes
MPE/iX does not dispatch jobs or sessions with an input priority less
than or equal to the priorityfence until their input priority is raised
with the ALTJOB command, or until the jobfence is lowered. System
managers and system supervisors may override the jobfence setting by
logging on with the HIPRI parameter of the JOB or HELLO commands. Or,
they may log on with an input priority greater than the jobfence as
reported by the SHOWJOB command.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break has no effect on this command. It may be issued only from
the console unless distributed to users with the ALLOW command.
Examples
To defer all non-HIPRI jobs and sessions, first set the jobfence to 14,
as shown below:
JOBFENCE 14
16:18/#J7/34/DEFERRED JOB INTRODUCED ON LDEV #10
16:18/#J8/35/DEFERRED JOB INTRODUCED ON LDEV #10
Then enter the SHOWJOB command to display the effect of the new jobfence.
SHOWJOB
JOBNUM STATE IPRI JIN JLIST INTRODUCED JOB NAME
#S26 EXEC 20 20 THU 4:17P OPERATOR.SYS
#J7 WAIT D 8 10S 12 THU 4:18P JOB1,FIELD.SUPT
#J8 WAIT D 8 10S 12 THU 4:18P JOB2,FIELD.SUPT
3 JOBS:
0 INTRO
2 WAIT; INCL 2 DEFERRED
1 EXEC; INCL 1 SESSIONS
0 SUSP
JOBFENCE= 14; JLIMIT= 5; SLIMIT=16
Finally, reset the jobfence to 6 to allow waiting jobs to log on:
JOBFENCE 6
16:21/#J7/34/LOGON FOR: JOB1,FIELD.SUPT ON LDEV #10
16:21/#J8/35/LOGON FOR: JOB2,FIELD.SUPT ON LDEV #10
