Certainly there are (expensive) products which change JES job
input priority /*PRIORITY in order to maximize thruput. However, my shop
will not pay for them, so I am trying to fiture out another way.
Changing JCL works but is labor intensive, and you have to scan
every job just to find out what jobs are currently assigned /*PRIORITY so
let's skip that as a solution.
IFF I had an Automated ops type system I could use that to change
the input priority, But I do not have one, and am unlikely to get one.
Skip that too.
Basically it would look like an easy to maintain table of 1)
JOBNAME and 2) Input Priority 3) maybe job class. Then something that,
right after the job is interpreted, will issue the proper command(s) to
set Jobclass and prioriy. Perhaps a User exit? Anybody already solved
this?
