Re: Submitting jobs with a higher priority

First off, on the SBMJOB command there is a parameter, Routing Data or 
RTGDTA.  Default is QCMDB.  Change that to use some special value, or 
change it to use *JOBD and do a CHGJOBD and store a special value in that 
job descriptions routing data.  What value should you use?  Here's the 5 
minute lecture on Work Management.

DSPSBSD QBATCH 
7. Routing entries
Based on the special value you entered on the first part, it will pick a 
routing entry.

Now let's look at a routing entry.  5=Display details
Notice this?
Class . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   QBATCH
  Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :     QGPL

Now, try the following:
CRTCLS CLS(ROB/JACKRABBIT) RUNPTY(20)
ADDRTGE SBSD(QBATCH) SEQNBR(6000) CMPVAL('QUICKIE') PGM(QCMD) 
CLS(ROB/JACKRABBIT) POOLID(2)
CHGJOBD JOBD(MYLIB/MYJOBD) RTGDTA('QUICKIE')
Now when you do
SBMJOB CMD(...) JOBD(MYLIB/MYJOBD) RTGDTA(*JOBD)
It should run at priority 20.

You can tailor the CRTCLS to get the right time slice, etc.  That's a 
topic best left to the midrange-l list.
Don't forget to get the right pool id.
DSPSBSD QBATCH
2. Pool definitions
Too many people THINK they have a nice pool for qbatch but have left all 
their routing entries pointing to pool 1.  Which will beat he!! out of 
*base and leave a lot of memory in qbatch unused.

Submitting jobs with a higher priority










I want to submit jobs to a job queue at a run priority of 20.  Any clue on
how to do this?  I am submitting job from an RPG program using QCMDEXEC.

Thanks
