Yes the job can run anywhere that has an available initiator for the job

always runs on the same system where it is submitted because of the
behavior of the checkpoint.

With WLM inits and z/OS 1.8 (or above) this isn't as bad as it used to be.
There were some problems with the new design and the work around
was to issue "$T MASDEF,WLMPERF=OLD" to force the pre z/OS 1.8
behavior. So make sure you have the fix for OA21212 on and then do a
"$T MASDEF,WLMPERF=NEW" if you implemented the work around.
ROTFLMAO! This JES2 job scheduling design flaw has been around since
before I started programming for a living! The limitation was supposed
to be finally relieved last century when WLM-managed batch initiators
came into being with OS/390 V2R4. And, every couple/few releases since
that time, IBM implements something new to "fix" it -- yet again!! It's
like patching a leaky roof! :-D
