You can use that and then $SJOB (or J next to the job in sdsf) to run what you want. That is what we do. Even when we had JES2 inits, we had one unused class defined as WLM controlled (since $SJOB is only for WLM controlled inits) for that purpose. 2) JOBCLASS was updated in 1.7 to have XEQ counts by member. If yout jobclass is unique, you can set the other members to have MAX=0 and your single LPAR you want to run jobs on to have MAX=* (or whatever). Seems like #1 is the simplest.
