Parameter Description for OFF(n).JT

CReator=cccccccc

Specifies the 1- to 8-character userid whose job(s) are to be selected by this job transmitter. Wildcard specifications are allowed on this parameter. If you allow this parameter to default, JES2 can select jobs for all userids.

Modification: $T OFF(n).JT operator command.

Class=classlist|(class,class)

Specifies the classes which are associated with the initiator. Classes associated with the initiator but ineligible to select work are not displayed in the list (but are matched on a filter).

The classlist variable specifies a list of single character job classes A-Z and 0-9: for example, 'ABCDEF'. A maximum of 36 classes can be specified.

The class variable specifies a comma-separated list of job classes or job class groups (each 1-8 characters in length). A maximum of eight items can be specified in the list: for example, (CLASS1,CLASS2,CLASS3).

Wildcards can also be specified: see Subscript ranges for details.

Modification: $T I[nnnn] operator command.

DISP=HOLD|KEEP|DELETE

Specifies the disposition of all jobs that are selected for transmitting to the offload data set as follows:

KEEP: Indicates that selected job(s) will not change status after being transmitted to the offload data set.
HOLD: Indicates that selected job(s) are put into HOLD status after being transmitted to the offload data set.
DELETE: Indicates that the selected job(s) are purged after being transmitted to the offload data set.

Modification: $T OFF(n).JT operator command.

Hold=Yes|No

Specifies whether jobs in HOLD status (that is, jobs that have been held by specifying a $H J command, TYPRUN=HOLD, or JCL HOLD) can be transmitted. Jobs that have been previously held (in a held class) do not apply to this parameter; such jobs are not considered here.

If you allow this parameter to default and HOLD is not in the work selection list, JES2 can select all jobs, whether held or not, for transmission. If you allow this parameter to default and HOLD is in the work selection list, no jobs can be transmitted.

Yes: Indicates that only jobs that are in HOLD status can be selected.
No: Indicates that only jobs that are not in HOLD status can be selected.

Modification: $T OFF(n).JT operator command.

JOBname=jccccccc

Specifies the 1- to 8-character job name of the job(s) to be transmitted to the offload data set. Wildcard specifications are allowed on this parameter. If you allow this parameter to default, JES2 can select all jobs, regardless of jobname, for transmission.

Modification: $T OFF(n).JT operator command.

LIMit=m|m-n|m-*

Specifies the limits (in records) set by this device for the amount of input records in a job.

For both variables m and n, you can specify a range of values 0-4294967295. m and n can be equal. If they are not equal, n must be larger than m.

If you code only m, that value becomes both the lower and upper limit. If m-* is specified, the upper limit is set to the default value of 4294967295.

Default: If you omit this parameter, JES2 uses the defaults m=0 and n=4294967295.

Modification: $T OFF(n).JT(n) command.

NOTify=Yes|No

Specifies whether a notification message is sent to the TSO/E userid specified on either the JOB statement or the /*NOTIFY control statement.

Yes: Indicates that a notification message is sent when a pre-execution job is transmitted to the offload data set.
No: Indicates that a notification message is not sent when a pre-execution job is transmitted to the offload data set.

Modification: $T OFF(n).JT operator command.

RANGE=Jnnnnn[-nnnnn]|J1-999999

Specifies the job ID range of those jobs that can be transmitted to the offload data set. If you code this parameter, you can specify one or two values:

If you specify one value, that value becomes both the low and the high end of the range.
If you specify two values, the first value is the low end of the range and the second value the high end. The two values can be equal. If they are not equal, the second value must be larger than the first value.

Modification: $T OFF(n).JT operator command.

Routecde=rtcode

Specifies the execution node selection criteria for jobs to be transmitted. Use commas to separate individual route codes and enclose the list in parentheses if more than one route code is specified. If you allow this parameter to default, JES2 can select all jobs, regardless of execution node, for transmission. Valid values for rtcode are:

ANYLOCAL | LOCAL: Indicates that only jobs on the local node can be selected.
destid: Specifies the name of a node, or an alias for the name of a node, from which jobs can be selected.
Note: If destid is used, it must be previously defined on a DESTID statement in the initialization stream.
Nnnnn | nodename: Indicates that only jobs which are to run on the specifically indicated node(s) can be selected. The nodes can be specified using the binary node identifier (nnnn) or the EBCDIC nodename.

Modification: $T OFF(n).JT operator command.

START=Yes|No

Specifies the initial status of this transmitter when its corresponding offload device is started for a transmit operation, that is when a $S OFFLOAD(n),TYPE=TRANSMIT command is issued.

Yes: Indicates that this transmitter is started when a corresponding $S OFFLOAD(n) command is issued.
No: Indicates that this transmitter is not started when a corresponding $S OFFLOAD(n) command is issued. This transmitter can later be started individually by issuing the $S OFF(n).JT command and stopped, as required, by issuing the $P OFF(n).JT command.

Modification: $S OFF(n).JT operator command or $T OFF(n).JT operator command.

SYSaff=

Specifies the member affinity for jobs that are selected for offloading. Use commas to separate individual members and enclose the list in parenthesis if more than one member ID is specified.

sidn: Indicates the specific member ID. As many as 32 IDs can be indicated.
ANY: Indicates that the offload job transmitter can transmit a job with any member affinity.

If you do not specify a value, the default value of this parameter is SYSaff=().

Modification: $T OFF(n).JT operator command.

Volume=(v1[,v2][,v3][,v4])

Specifies the 5- or 6-character volume serial of a volume containing a spool data set. Only jobs using tracks on this volume(s) can be selected for dumping. As many as four volumes can be specified. Use commas to separate individual volume IDs and enclose the list in parenthesis if more than one ID is specified.

If you do not specify a value, the default value of this parameter is Volume=().

Modification: $T OFF(n).JT operator command.

WS=(CLass/)

Specifies the job selection criteria for this device. If a criterion is specified in the work selection list, job selection is based on the corresponding parameter specification on this initialization statement. If the job selection criterion is not listed here, the criterion is not considered during work selection.

A slash can be used within the work selection list to further specify work selection. The use of a slash has the following general meaning: 1) those criterion listings several specifications is prioritized in a left to right priority order when placed to the left of the slash; 2) the placement of a criterion to the left of the slash indicates a required exact match of work selection and job criteria; and 3) placement of a criterion to the right of the slash indicates a preferred (but not required match) of work selection and job criteria. Exceptions to these rules are noted in the following descriptions.

CLass: Specifies that a match must be found for one of the job classes currently set for this device. If specified to the left of the slash, the order of the class list is in left to right priority order. If specified to the right of the slash, an exact match is still required, but the list has no priority order.
CReator: Specifies that the current creator is preferred. If specified to the left of the slash, an exact match is required.
Hold: Specifies that the current hold specification is considered as a selection criterion. If specified to the left of the slash, an exact match is required.
JOBname: Specifies that the current job name is preferred. If specified to the left of the slash, an exact match is required.
Priority: Specifies that job priority is considered. The higher the priority value, the higher priority this criterion receives. The priority specification receives greater importance relative to its left to right placement in the criteria string.
RANGE: Specifies that the current job range is preferred. If specified to the left of the slash, an exact match is required.
Routecde: Specifies that one of the current route codes must match. If specified to the left of the slash, an exact match is required and priority order is indicated from left to right. If specified to the right of the slash, an exact match is still required; however, no priority order is indicated.
SYSaff: Specifies that the current member affinity specification is preferred. If specified to the left of the slash, an exact match is required.
Volume: Specifies that one of the currently specified volumes must match. If specified to the left of the slash, an exact match is required and priority order is indicated from left to right. If specified to the right of the slash, an exact match is still required; however, no priority order is indicated.

If you do not specify a value, the default value of this parameter is WS=(CLass/).

Note: Embedded comments are not allowed within the WS= parameter specification.

Modification: $T OFF(n).JT operator command.
