User Commands
ALTER
Newpri
Specifies the new priority value you want for jobs. The
value of
Newpri must be an integer from 0 through 14,
where 14 is the highest priority.
You can defer submitting your job by setting Newpri
less than or equal to the value of RDRFENCE, which is
described in the SNA NRJE Node Manager’s Guide.
The initial priority of a job is established when you
submit it via a parameter of the SUBMIT command.
Wsid
Overrides the default Wsid named in the NRJE
command, for this command only. When you specify
WSID=
Wsid in this command, the job files you alter are
in workstation
Wsid .
Unless you are configured with NM capability, you
must be the submitter of the jobs you want to alter.
Description
The ALTER command enables you to control the order of jobs within the
transmission queue. Each job in the queue has a particular priority. You
can determine the priority of a job or a group of jobs by using the SHOW
command. Then, if you would like to change the priority of one or more
jobs, you can use the ALTER command.
You can specify a particular transmission queue associated with a
particular workstation identification by entering the WSID=
Wsid
parameter in this command. If you omit the Wsid parameter, this
command refers to the transmission queue of the default workstation.
You establish a default workstation by using the
Wsid parameter with
an NRJE command.
Restrictions
• You can alter the priority of only those jobs that are in a READY state.
You can use the SHOW command to determine the state of jobs.
• If you are configured with an NM capability, you can alter the
priority of jobs submitted by any
UserName.AcctName . However, if
you do not have NM capability, you can alter the priority of only
those jobs submitted under your logon
UserName.AcctName .
