LIMIT
Limits the number of concurrently running jobs/sessions. (Native Mode)
Syntax
[{numberjobs }]
LIMIT [{,numbersessions }]
[{numberjobs,numbersessions}]
Parameters
numberjobs The number of jobs.
number- sessions The number of sessions.
<omitted> If you specify no parameter, a message is displayed
listing the current limits.
Operation Notes
Maximum job and session limits are established by the system supervisor
during system configuration. Within these limits, the operator may
redefine the job and session limit with the LIMIT command. When the
system is restarted from disk in a START RECOVERY, the operator defined
limits are retained. When any other startup option is used, the values
configured by the supervisor take effect.
If you enter one parameter and omit the other, the limit of the omitted
parameter remains unchanged.
No new jobs or sessions are dispatched that would cause either of these
limits to be exceeded, unless they are initiated with the HIPRI parameter
of the JOB or HELLO commands.
Non-HIPRI jobs can still be introduced when the limit is achieved, but
they do not execute.
If you attempt to log on to a non-HIPRI session after the limit has been
reached, you receive the message:
CAN'T INITIATE NEW SESSIONS NOW
The specified limits may be exceeded at the time the command is issued.
This does not cause jobs or sessions executing at the time to abort.
They continue to execute, but no new jobs are allowed to enter the
executing state, and no new sessions are initiated.
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 limit the number of jobs to 2 and the number of sessions to 15, enter:
LIMIT 2,15
