WLM managed initiators

2008-08-10 Thread גדי בן אבי
Hi,
 
We would like to use WLM managed initiators for some of our classes.
 
The jobs running in these classes can only run on one of the systems in our 
sysplex.
 
Is there a way to make sure that the jobs will run on oe system other that 
using /*JOBPARM SYSAFF=?
 
TIA

I'm not really very knowledgable about WLM initiators, but wouldn't it
be possible to only tell the JES2 on a particular system to service a
specific class? E.g. JES2 on SY1 has a JOBCLASS(C) MODE=WLM defination
in it. JES2 on SY2 has JOBCLASS(C) MODE=JES and does not have any
static initiators set up to service class C.

Yes, but there are not an infinite amount of markings.
IIRC, the accuracy is at best 0.5 times the smallest gradient.

You are correct, there are not infinite markings but there is a process known 
as 'interpolating' that allows you to estimate the values between the markings. 
I asked my school teacher what did interpolating mean. She said I don't 
know!. I am enjoying this tread but admit it is just useless memories in 
todays world. I have 18 months to work.  Then I am going to teach math, science 
and history for free.

That's not accuracy; that's precision.  Nowadays both the clock with the
digital display and the clock with the analog display are apt to have
quartz crystal frequency reference and digital innards, and thus to be
similarly accurate.

I can neither spin yarn by hand nor by wheel, nor weave cloth, nor

wooly mammoth for food.  I can do arithmetic by hand, or with a
slide rule.  But all these things must be displaced to accommodate
more relevant topics in our educational curricula.  Roman numerals

erudite, now infrequent, contributor to this list is apt to protest.
Roman numerals, abaci, Napier's Bones, slide rules and Curta

You need to buy him a true digital clock, one where the numbers 
flip down. This will teach him that clockwise is down, and 
anti-clockwise is up G

Re: WLM managed initiators

Hi John,

The WLM managed initiators are defined on a sysplex level. Once you tell JES 
that a particular class is WLM managed, it will run jobs on all (in our case 
both) system in the sysplex.

We found this out the hard way.
