How to chg the num active jobs in Qbatch

How can I change the number of jobs that are running at the same moment in QBATCH subsystem, because the default is one and I want to change it ? Silvio Santos

There are two parameters you will need to change.

CHGSBSD SBSD(QSYS/QBATCH) MAXJOBS(*NOMAX) CHGJOBQE SBSD(QBATCH) JOBQ(QBATCH) + MAXPTY1(*NOMAX) MAXPTY2(5) + MAXPTY3(4) MAXPTY4(3) + MAXPTY5(1) MAXPTY6(1) + MAXPTY7(1) MAXPTY8(0) + MAXPTY9(0) 

The first command tells the system the total number of jobs that may run simultaneously in the subsystem regardless of the jobq entries. You may find QBATCH already setup as *NOMAX. The second command tells the subsystem how many of each jobq priority to allow to run simultaneously; subject to the subsystem description. Obviously, you will need to be judicious in your settings of the jobq settings. I wanted to point out a trick that we use here to allow jobs to sit in a jobq until we "release" them during the dedicated system processing at night. You'll notice that priorities 8 and 9 have max set to 0. This means just that, nothing will run if it has a jobq priority of 8 or 9 -- until that jobq entry is changed. And that is what we do at night, priority 9 is changed to max active 1 and then we submit a jobq pty 9 job that then sets it back to max active 0.

You could do two things: (1) Change the jobq entry of the subsystem description to me greater than one (max active and by priority) and (2) add another jobq entry so two (or more)jobq's would feed jobs into the subsystem. The simplest way is just to change the jobq entry max active atributes. HTH.
