Managing job class objects

 

A class object contains the run attributes that control the run-time environment of a job. IBM-supplied class objects, or classes, meet the needs of both typical interactive and batch applications. The class used by a job is specified in the subsystem description routing entry used to start the job. If a job consists of multiple routing steps, the class used by each subsequent routing step is specified in the routing entry used to start the routing step.

• Creating a class object
  You can create a class object by using the character-based interface. The class defines the processing attributes for jobs that use the class. The class used by a job is specified in the subsystem description routing entry used to start the job. If a job consists of multiple routing steps, the class used by each subsequent routing step is specified in the routing entry used to start the routing step.

• Changing a class object
  You can change the attributes of a class object by using the character-based interface. Any attribute can be changed, except for the public authority attribute. Refer to the Revoke Object Authority (RVKOBJAUT) command and the Grant Object Authority (GRTOBJAUT) command for more information about changing object authorizations.
