JOBPTY

[Jim Sehi <jsehi@xxxxxxxx>]

I sent the email below to our JBA account representative.  Has anyone had
trouble with this very same problem, and if so, what did you do about it?

This is your reminder to forward this question on to others in an attempt
to resolve it...

I have noticed that various jobs within the JBA System/21 product are being
submitted with different job priorities.  We have experienced jobs that are
never run.. or are run much later in the day because the job queue is
generally pretty full.  If the job you are submitting is submitted at
JOBPTY(5), other jobs may preempt the run of your job because the job queue
is constantly reshuffled depending on job priority.

For example, I submit program 21/AIS.  This job is submitted at JOBPTY(3)
even though the job in the job queue is pointing to job description
IPGAMP4/IPGAMP which has a JOBPTY(5).  My user profile points to
QGPL/QDFTJOBD which is set to JOBPTY(6).

1.  I'm confused about how job priorities are assigned, please explain.
2.  There doesn't seem to be a way to control these priorities to ensure
that all jobs are submitted with the same JOBPTY.

Thanks for your help!
