Alters the attributes of waiting or scheduled jobs. (Native
Mode) Syntax | |
ALTJOB[ JOB=] { #Jnnn #Snnn } |
[ ;INPRI=inputpriority] [ ;OUTDEV={ ldev devclass } ] |
[.HIPRI][;JOBQ=queuename] |
Parameters | |
- #Jnnn
A job number. - #Snnn
A session number. (Although syntactically correct,
this parameter is rarely used: sessions do not wait.) - inputpriority
The new input priority (0 = lowest; 14 = highest). - ldev or devclass
The logical device number or device class name of
the destination device job's $STDLIST. - HIPRI
Allows the OP or SM to bypass the joblimit, see
the JOB command for more detail. - queuename
The name of the job queue whose limit is being changed.
Operation Notes | |
The ALTJOB
command, in conjunction with the JOBFENCE
command, allows you to control the flow of all jobs on the system
with the exception of HIPRI
jobs. It can be used to alter only jobs in the INTRO, WAIT, or SCHED
state. Jobs with an input priority less than or equal to the current
JOBFENCE, a numerical value from 0 to 14, are deferred. Use | |
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or
in BREAK. Pressing BREAK has no effect on this command. If issued
from the console or by a user with SM capability, or allowed
via the ALLOW
command, the ALTJOB
command can be used to alter any job.
A user who is not at the console, does
not have SM or has not been allowed the
command may issue ALTJOB
only if jobsecurity is set to low.
If jobsecurity is set to low
then all users can issue ALTJOB
against their own jobs and account managers (AM capability) can
issue it against any job in that account. Example | |
In the following example, three jobs are submitted by users,
each with an INPRI
value of 8. To change the INPRI
values to ensure that JOB1
runs first, JOB2
runs last, and JOB3
runs second with LP
allocated as the OUTDEV
for JOB3, enter
the following commands: JOBFENCE 14
15:11/#J1/24/DEFERRED JOB INTRODUCED ON LDEV #53
15:11/#J2/25/DEFERRED JOB INTRODUCED ON LDEV #53
15:13/#J3/26/DEFERRED JOB INTRODUCED ON LDEV #53 |
