$P XEQ

Function

To prevent JES2 and WLM-controlled initiators from selecting work.

Note: The $SJ command issued on a member where the $PXEQ command has been issued, overrides the $PXEQ command, but only on the member where these commands are issued.

Syntax


>>-$P--XEQ-----------------------------------------------------><

Authority Required

This command requires system authority. The description of the $T RDRnn command explains how to ensure that the authority of the appropriate MVS™ system command group is assigned.

This command requires control security access authority. For a description of assigning command input authority, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, SA32-0991.

Processing Considerations

$P XEQ stops all JES2 and WLM initiators from selecting new work. Message $HASP222 is displayed while JES2 is in this state. The $S JOB command will continue to run WLM-managed jobs even if a $P XEQ was previously issued.

The $DMEMBER command will tell you if a $PXEQ is in effect.

Scope

Single member. The values will be in effect for this member only.

Messages

The $HASP000 message indicates the command has been accepted.

The $HASP222 message indicates that no jobs will be selected for execution on this member until a $S XEQ command is issued.

Example

 1   $p xeq

  $HASP000 OK
  *$HASP222 XEQ DRAINING

JES2 and WLM initiators may not select jobs from the JES2 job queue.
