You are describing what appears to be on the surface, normal WLM behavior.
You should note that XEQCOUNT is a max allowed, not a minimum.
Possible reasons for WLM not starting additional jobs/initiators:
1) XEQCOUNT is a maximum and is enforced by JES, not WLM and is thus
irrelevant to this discussion
2) Workload mix was meeting goals. No action needed by WLM
2) Corollary: improper goal setting
3) CPU "saturation" indicated to WLM that starting additional
initiators would not help performance would reduce performance.
4) more important workloads needed help as opposed to batch
5) many many other possibilities
There are too many possibilities to list them all. Since I don't have a copy of
your WLM policy, the best I can do is a WAG, not even a SWAG.
The only way to know for sure what WLM is thinking is to turn on SMF99 and sent
the info to IBM for analysis.
You can force jobs to start via SDSF or console command. IIRC, in SDSF a "j"
command for the job will cause it to start.
Check the fine manuals in case I have a memory fault.

Subject: Job await main select and cannot execution
Hi all,
We are running in wlm mode with schedule environment, wlm managed all class
with xeqcount=200, but we don't know why when all new jobs reached around 20,
and CPU reached 100% all other new coming job will be in "job await main
select" status, we don't know why, is it CPU reached 100%, and wlm decided not
to start more initiator? Can we force to start new jobs?
The mode is correct , in wlm mode both side The job class are defined as wlm
managed,
Any help will be appreciated
