Commands ABORT to BYE
system-defined default workgroup at the base priority (subject to decay
as it consumes CPU). To assign a scheduling queue value, you must
have OP capability.
• A queue manager value {BM,CM,DM,EM} sets the queue attribute of
the target process(es). If a user-defined workgroup does not capture the
process, then the process will fall into the corresponding system-defined
default workgroup at the base priority (non-decayable). To assign a
queue manager value, you must have SM capability.
• An absolute priority {
nnn } sets the priority of the process to the
specified value that will not decay. The workgroup of the process will
not be changed (the process will have the same timeslice value). Note
that the priority specified need not fall between the base and limit
priorities of the workgroup. To assign an absolute priority value, you
must have SM capability.
If you do not have SM capability, then your MAXPRI value represents the
highest priority that you can assign a process. A warning appears when
the specified priority exceeds MAXPRI. MAXPRI is ignored for System
Manager (SM) capability.
workgrp A workgroup value { workgrp } moves the target process(es) to the specified
workgroup. A process moved in this manner is considered an artificial
member of the workgroup (the process was placed in workgroup explicitly,
rather than naturally by meeting the membership criteria specified for the
workgroup).
A process remains an artificial member of its assigned workgroup until
either the workgroup is purged or the process' explicit assignment is
changed (via ALTPROC or an AIF call). An artificial member is not affected
by a system-wide scan or by the changing of its process attributes used
to determine workgroup membership. A workgroup specification requires
SM capability and can only be used to modify the workgroup assignment of
user processes.
You cannot specify both the ;WG= and ;PRI= in the ALTPROC command line.
Workload Manager users should use ;WG= instead of ;PRI=.
NATURAL_WG The natural workgroup specification {NATURAL_WG} releases one or more
process(es) from their explicit workgroup assignment, allowing them to
migrate to their natural workgroup. A natural workgroup specification
requires SM capability.
TREE This option alters each process specified as well as all of its descendants.
TREE is the default for all
jobspec target processes. If you specify both
TREE and SYSTEM, you will see a warning that TREE will be ignored.
NOTREE This option alters only the processes specified. Descendant processes will
not be altered. NOTREE is the default for all
pinspec target processes.
USER The USER option applies only when
jobspec is wildcarded. It alters only
processes matching the user's name. USER is the default.
ANYUSER The ANYUSER option applies only when
jobspec is wildcarded. It alters all
