{ SpoolfileID }
A[LTER] { Name },Newpri [;W[SID]=Wsid]
{UserName.AcctName }
{ @ } |
Parameters | |
- SpoolfileID
Use to alter the priority of a specific job to
Newpri. The SpoolfileID parameter is assigned by the spooler after execution
of a SUBMIT command. Its form is #0nnnnn, where n is a digit. You enter just the nnnnn portion of the ID. - Name
Use to alter all your jobs with this Name to the Newpri value You can create a job Name in the SUBMIT command. You can submit several jobs with the same Name. A job Name begins with a letter, and may be up to eight alphanumeric
characters long. - UserName.AcctName
Use to alter all jobs from a UserName.AcctName to the Newpri value. If your logon UserName.AcctName is different from the one you specified in this command,
you must be configured with NM capability to use this parameter. - @
Use to alter the priority of all jobs you submitted
to the Newpri value when your logon UserName.AcctName is the same as the jobs you want to change. If you
have NM capability, this will affect all jobs. - Newpri
Specifies the new priority value you want for jobs.
The value of Newpri must be an integer from 0 through 14, where 14 is the
highest priority. You can defer submitting your job by setting Newpri less than or equal to the value of RDRFENCE, which is described in the SNA NRJE
Node Manager's Guide. The initial priority of a job is established when you submit
it via a parameter of the SUBMIT command. - Wsid
Overrides the default Wsid named in the NRJE command, for this command only. When you specify
WSID=Wsid in this command, the job files you alter are in workstation
Wsid. Unless you are configured with NM capability, you must
be the submitter of the jobs you want to alter.
Description | |
The ALTER command enables you to control the order of jobs within
the transmission queue. Each job in the queue has a particular priority.
You can determine the priority of a job or a group of jobs by using
the SHOW command. Then, if you would like to change the priority
of one or more jobs, you can use the ALTER command. You can specify a particular transmission queue associated
with a particular workstation identification by entering the WSID=Wsid parameter in this command. If you omit the Wsid parameter, this command refers to the transmission
queue of the default workstation. You establish a default workstation
by using the Wsid parameter with an NRJE command. You can alter the priority of only
those jobs that are in a READY state. You can use the SHOW command to determine the state of jobs. If you are configured with an NM capability, you
can alter the priority of jobs submitted by any UserName.AcctName. However, if you do not have NM capability, you can
alter the priority of only those jobs submitted under your logon
UserName.AcctName.

Other commands follow |
In the example, you changed the priority of one file to a Newpri value. You can change the priority of groups of files
to a Newpri value when you use the Name, UserName.AcctName, or @ parameter. This is useful when you advance a priority
value above the deferred value set by RDRFENCE. |
