"So long as" holds true for a lot of the proposed solutions, how do you guarantee this? The basic conclusion is that JES2 does not guarantee anything, so you cannot build on JES2. Nobody even mentioned a 10-way MASplex with 10 convertors each and initiators available on each LPAR, running on different machines with different speeds. It might be well possible that when you submit 10 jobs in sequence, job 8 starts executing before job 1. You must take your own measures like Robert's 3 choices.
