Defines the minimum input priority that a job or session must have in order to execute.
JOBFENCE priorityfence
priorityfence A number between 0 and 14, inclusive.this range, smaller numbers are less limiting; larger numbers more limiting.
MPE/iX will not dispatch jobs or sessions with an input priority less than or equal to the priorityfence until their input priority is raised with the ALTJOB command, or until the JOBFENCE is lowered. System managers and system supervisors may override the JOBFENCE setting by logging on with the ;HIPRI parameter of the JOB or HELLO commands. Or, they may log on with an input priority greater than the JOBFENCE as reported by the SHOWJOB command. This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command. It may be issued only from the console unless it is distributed to users with the ALLOW command.
To defer all non-HIPRI jobs and sessions, first set the JOBFENCE to 14, as shown below. JOBFENCE 14 1618/#J7/34/DEFERRED JOB INTRODUCED ON LDEV #10 1618/#J8/35/DEFERRED JOB INTRODUCED ON LDEV #10 Then enter the SHOWJOB command to display the effect of the new JOBFENCE.
