<h1 class="topictitle1">A job's life: the job enters the subsystem</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p> <dfn class="term">Subsystems</dfn> are operating environments where the system
|
||
|
|
manages the resources that jobs use and controls the jobs that run within
|
||
|
|
them. After jobs are running in the subsystem, the subsystem job carries out
|
||
|
|
user requests on a job such as holding, releasing, and ending a job. When
|
||
|
|
the job enters the subsystem it becomes active.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Like jobs, subsystems have descriptions that carry important information
|
||
|
|
needed to complete the work. In the subsystem description is the routing entry.
|
||
|
|
The <dfn class="term">routing entry</dfn> references the class object, which contains
|
||
|
|
the attributes that control the run-time environment. However, before the
|
||
|
|
job can get its routing entry, the routing data must make a match with a compare
|
||
|
|
value in the routing entry. If this association is not made, the job will
|
||
|
|
not run. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>After the association between the routing data and the routing entry is
|
||
|
|
made, the class object the job will use is determined. Some of the attributes
|
||
|
|
that control the run-time environment include the run priority, the time slice,
|
||
|
|
the maximum wait time, the maximum processing time, the maximum temporary
|
||
|
|
storage, and the maximum number of threads. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The subsystem description defines the memory pools that will be allocated
|
||
|
|
to the subsystem. The subsystem description also contains the maximum active
|
||
|
|
jobs, which is the maximum number of active jobs at one time in the subsystem. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Until a job gets its activity level and is assigned a memory pool, it cannot
|
||
|
|
run. The subsystem description, like the job description, carries information,
|
||
|
|
such as the memory pool to use, the routing entry, the maximum active jobs,
|
||
|
|
and the number of active jobs currently in the subsystem. </p>
