Re: A Job Queueing Problem

[Bill Gravelle<billgravelle@xxxxxxx>]

If you want to keep the problem solution within one subsystem, then you may 
be able to use the job queue priority limits that are available ...

I'm not connected to a 400 right now so my terminology might be off, but 
there are additional limits that you can place on your job queue entries in 
the subsystem description that will control the number of jobs active from 
that queue at a certain submitted priority ... This gives you more granular 
control over the number of concurrent executable jobs ...

In order to get your requirement implemented, you may have to change your 
job queue scheme a bit, but you should be able to find a combination of 
queues with priority limits to meet your needs ...

Good luck, *bg
