You could try playing with the CICS runaway task interval CEMT SET Runaway(0100000).
I would suggest using a test system and try varying values for the interval. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Wilson Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 3:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: JES3 Hi, Bit of a JES3 question..... Yesterday we had a developer who ended up submitting thousands of batch jobs through a looping CICS transaction. This ended up filling all our JES3 job numbers and eventually locking up JES3 on all the systems in our JESPLEX. I have been trying to think of preventative measures to stop this from happening again and haven¹t really been able to come up with anything to date. Would anyone know of a way to prevent this in the future ---- apart from changing the developer :)......
