ALTJOB alters the attributes of waiting or scheduling jobs. ALTJOB now accepts a new

parameter

;jobq=

. Jobs waiting or executing in a queue can moved to other queues. Only

users with SM/OP capability can move jobs.

When an executing job is moved, the limit of the target queue is ignored and the job

continues to execute in the new queue. A waiting job continues to wait in the new queue if

the queue has already reached its limit.

The ALTJOB command now accepts a new optional parameter

HIPRI

. The

HIPRI

option can

be used for overriding the system jobfence or the joblimit. User must have System

Manager(SM) or Operator(OP) capability to use this option. Also, the

INPRI

and

HIPRI

options may not be speciﬁed together.

Parameters:

qname

Name of the job queue into which the job is to be moved.

HIPRI HIPRI

option can be used to change the priority of a job.

Examples:

:ALTJOB #jnnn;

jobq=

mjq

:ALTJOB #jnnn;hipri
