You might want to investigate Workload Manager Application Environments. Jes allows a max number of jobs to execute in a single job class (INTDEF XEQCOUNT) Netview or other AO product. Workload Managed initiators. The problem I see is keeping track of how many jobs are in the queue and how many jobs are executing. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jousma, David Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2025 8:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Curiosity question on batch job management [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.] All, We have a fairly large development environment that no matter how much capacity we would give it, its never enough. One thing that makes the problem worse, is that a single user submits multiple jobs with unique jobnames taking available inits from others. I know we could limit them to a specific jobname, forcing them to single thread jobs, but I'd rather do something in job selection that is jobname agnostic, but limits a single user to some number of concurrent jobs by userid? Looks like JES exit 14 or likely 49 could be utilized? Has anyone ever written such a thing, or something similar?
