WLM INITs are the way to go.
But WLM inits aren't for all applications / needs. Many shops (including
ours) have
a class (or a few classes) set aside for JES2 initiators for jobs that must get
initiated immediately, regardless of the system utilization being at or near
100%.
This can be anything, but often, from what I have seen over the years, it
is a job submitted from CICS or MQ that is part of a "transaction".
You may also need to use JES inits if you need to control the
maximum number of jobs running in some class. We have a database
that doesn't support enclaves, so batch calls run at the same
priority as CICS calls. We need to limit the number of batch jobs
to keep online response time acceptable.
