Moving Jobs

[vinomails]

Hi All,

Is there a way to move some jobs from one queue to other queue based on the no of jobs in a Queue.

For eg. Jobq A and B. If A is having more then 100 jobs then i would like to move some 20 jobs from A to B automatically.


Please help me out...

Thanks.

Re: Moving Jobs

1. WRKJOBQ A
2. Type '2' for each job to move from job queue A to job queue B.
3. On the line at the bottom of the screen type JOBQ(B)
4. Hit Enter.
5. You're done.

Hi,

There will be a CL program which monitors the Queue based on the no of jobs in a Queue it will change jobs from one queue to other queue.

I think he wants something to manage the job queue for him, so that if a particular job queue gets swamped, a set number of backed up jobs get moved to a different job queue. This would be constantly monitored for.

The only way I could think of doing this would be to write a program. I'm sure there would be API's for listing the jobs on a given job queue. You could then pick which ones to re-assign and use the CHGJOB command to change job queue. This program could then be started with a delay wait and left running.

Could possibly use the following?

List Job (QUSLJOB) API

Re: Moving Jobs

I'd use the Retrieve Job Queue Information (QSPRJOBQ) API since you can get the number and the list of jobs currently sitting in the JOBQ in various status.
Jamie posted actually an example many moons ago here.
Thanks Jamie
