Why are people so insistent that having two same named jobs running at the same time would cause such havoc? Do people really often have two jobs with the same name that do different things submitted at the same time with the intention that they need to run sequentially and not simultaneously?
This is a dangerous game. If you submit many jobs with the same name all at the same time, there is no guarantee in what order the jobs will convert or run--unless you "throttle" JES down to only one converter for the JESplex. Even then, I do not believe there is an absolute guarantee that identically-named jobs will execute in the order they were converted, but I could be wrong about that. In any case, if a strict conversion -> execution order restriction is not documented, JES2 could be "improved" in a future release.
