Re: Submitting Jobs to QBATCH

[fiona.fitzgerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Great advice so far - or you could use jobq QTXTSRCH. How about QPGMR ?

- just don't let your pointy-haired boss do what ours did one evening.

Submitted a series of run-alone report jobs, all using the same file, to a
triple-threaded jobq of ours by mistake.
To prevent them all running at once, he had the ingenious idea of doing a
WRKSYSSTS, and changing the Max Act entry for that shared pool to 1.  There
was quite a backlog by the morning, & several people releasing released
jobqs in frustration.

You can, you see, assign any amount of job queues to feed through any
(started) subsystem, admitting x jobs at a time, but the amount of jobs
active at one time in that pool can be altered too.

I would recommend setting up a job description especially  for certain
kinds of jobs, which states which jobq the jobs go to, and using that for
yourself - or a group of developers - whoever shouldn't block QBATCH jobq.

Bear in mind also that when removing a jobq entry from a subsystem
description, you may need to end & restart the sbs to make the change
apply. And always check all jobds on the system for references to that now
incative jobq !
