Classification: Confidential Rather than split the spool, (no cold start required IIRC, it might be more prudent to limit the amount of output a job can create.
Look up $ESTLNCT(?) in the JES2 manual; Set an appropriate Count and specify option 2. When the job exceeds the defined limit (more or less), the job will abend w/S722. HTH, -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Michael Babcock Sent: Thursday, December 8, 2022 1:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Split JES2 MAS [CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization. Unless you trust the sender, Don’t click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] We have a 3 system plex, with two of those systems, DEV and PROD, in a JES2 MAS. We had an incident recently where a development job got into a loop and used up all spool. This in turn, caused our PROD system to come to, basically, a screeching halt. Management wants to investigate removing PROD from the MAS. Beyond the obvious cons below, what else am I missing? Will a cold start be required? CONS: 1. No longer monitor production jobs from DEV 2. User's will need to logon to production to check on production jobs 3. Significant changes to desk procedures 4. May require changes to production jobs and/or CA7 (convert from SYSAFF to ROUTE XEQ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
