<h1 class="topictitle1">A job's life: the job enters the job queue</h1>
<div><p><dfn class="term">Job queues</dfn> are work entry points for batch jobs to
enter the system. They can be thought of as "waiting rooms" for a subsystem. </p>
<p>A number of factors affect when the job is pulled off the job queue into
the subsystem, such as the job priority on the job queue, the sequence number
of the job queue, and the maximum active jobs. When all of these factors work
together, the job will be pulled off the job queue to start running in the
subsystem. </p>
<p>When the job enters the job queue, it is available to a subsystem that
has the job queue allocated to it. Because subsystems can have more than one
job queue feeding into them (however, job queues cannot feed into more than
one subsystem), a sequence number in the subsystem determines when the subsystem
processes a job queue. The subsystem looks at the sequence number of the job
queue before the job priority of the jobs in the job queue. The subsystem
uses the priority on the job queue to determine when a job can enter relative
to other jobs on the job queue. The job priority and the maximum active jobs
determine when a job enters the subsystem. </p>
