JOBPRI
JOBPRI
Sets or changes the default execution priority for batch jobs and sets a maximum execution
priority for batch jobs. (Native Mode)
Syntax
JOBPRI[ maxsubqueue][,defaultsubqueue]
Parameters
maxsubqueue The maximum priority at which batch jobs are allowed to run. This
overrides any job priority a user may have requested with the JOB
command. This parameter may be ES, DS, CS, or zero. If zero is specified,
no limit is imposed on batch jobs. Default is no change in maximum
priority.
default- subqueue The default execution priority for batch jobs, which may be ES, DS, or CS.
This takes effect if a user does not specify an execution priority in the JOB
command. Default is no change in execution priority.
Operation Notes
The maxsubqueue parameter specified in the JOBPRI command takes precedence over
defaultsubqueue. Therefore, selecting a default parameter greater than the value of
maxsubqueue parameter does not affect job execution. Jobs are still initiated with the
maximum priority parameter.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break
has no effect on this command. System supervisor (OP) capability is required to execute
this command.
Example
To raise the maximum execution priority so that batch jobs can run in any subqueue
requested, enter:
JOBPRI 0
