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
