System Administrator's Quick Reference Guide

Controlling Job and Session Execution 

The execution of jobs and sessions is controlled by setting parameters in
the SYSGEN MISC configurator, and by commands issued from the system
console.  This section describes commands issued from the system console.

Aborting Individual Jobs and Sessions 

The syntax for aborting a job is:

     ABORTJOB #Jnnn 

The syntax for aborting a session is:

     ABORTJOB #Snnn 

Preventing Access to Devices 

To refuse the use of a device to a user, enter:

     REFUSE [JOBS,][DATA,]ldev 

Preventing Access to Device Classes 

The syntax for preventing access to a device class is:

     DISASSOCIATE devclass 

Use this command to cancel the effects of issuing the ASSOCIATE command.

Limiting the Number of Jobs and Sessions that May Run Concurrently 

The syntax for limiting the number of jobs or sessions that may run
concurrently is:

     LIMIT numberjobs,numbersessions 

This command may delay, but does not prevent, the running of jobs and
sessions.  No jobs or sessions (unless HIPRI) will run if LIMIT 0,0 is
used.

Limiting Job and Session Input Priorities 

The syntax for preventing jobs and sessions from running by limiting
input priorities is:

     JOBFENCE priorityfence 

A job or session cannot run unless its input priority (INPRI) is set to a
value that is higher than the value of priorityfence (0 - 14).

Overriding the Jobfence 

The syntax for overriding the jobfence for specified jobs and sessions
is:

     ALTJOB #Jnnn;INPRI=inputpriority 

The specified job (or session if #Snnn is specified) will run if its
inputpriority is set to a value that is higher than the value of
priorityfence.

Bypassing Job and Session Limits 

Users with system manager (SM) and system supervisor (OP) capabilities
can bypass the JOBFENCE limit.  The syntax is:

     logoncommand logonid;HIPRI

The logoncommand can be HELLO, JOB, or STARTSESS.

Setting the Global Output Priority Fence 

The syntax for setting the output priority that all jobs and sessions
must exceed, for all output devices is:

     OUTFENCE outputpriority 

To print, jobs and sessions must have an output priority that is higher
than outputpriority.  If outputpriority is set to 14, output is prevented
from going to an output device.

Overriding the Global Output Priority 

The syntax for overriding the OUTFENCE is:

     OUTFENCE outputpriority;LDEV=nn 

The output priority of all jobs and sessions that output to LDEV is set
to outputpriority.  The value of the specific LDEV output priority must
be higher than the value of the global outputpriority.

Suspending Job Execution 

The syntax for temporarily stopping the execution of a job is:

     BREAKJOB #Jnnn 

Resuming Job Execution 

The syntax for resuming execution of a stopped job is:

     RESUMEJOB #Jnnn
