Job queue entry
A job queue entry identifies a job queue from which jobs are selected for running in the subsystem. There are five parameters in the job queue entry that control how the job queue should be handled.
- Subsystem Description (SBSD)
- This is the name and the library of the subsystem description to which the job queue entry is added.
- Job queue (JOBQ)
- Specifies the name and library of the job queue that is a source of batch jobs that are started by the subsystem.
- Maximum active jobs (MAXACT)
- Specifies the maximum number of jobs that can be active at the same time from this job queue.
- Sequence number (SEQNBR)
- Specifies a sequence number for this job queue, which is used by the subsystem to determine the order in which the job queues are processed.
- Max active priority 1 (through 9) (MAXPTYx)
- Specifies the number of jobs that can be started for a specified job priority level.
