<div><p>A class object contains the run attributes that control the run-time
|
||
|
|
environment of a job. IBM-supplied class objects, or classes, meet the needs
|
||
|
|
of both typical interactive and batch applications. The following classes
|
||
|
|
(by name) are supplied with the system:</p>
|

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Run-time attributes</h4><p>The following is a list of some
|
||
|
|
of the run-time attributes, or parameters, that are found in a class object
|
||
|
|
that are important to work management.</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Run priority (<span class="parmname">RUNPTY</span>)</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>A number that specifies the priority level assigned to all jobs running
|
||
|
|
that use the class. The priority level is used to determine which job, of
|
||
|
|
all the jobs competing for system resources, is run next. The value can be
|
||
|
|
1 through 99, where 1 is the highest priority (all jobs having a 1 priority
|
||
|
|
are run first). This value is the highest run priority allowed for any thread
|
||
|
|
within the job. Individual threads within the job may have a lower priority.
|
||
|
|
Changing the run priority of the job will affect the run priorities of all
|
||
|
|
threads within the job. For example, if the job is running at priority 10,
|
||
|
|
thread A within the job is running at priority 10 and thread B within the
|
||
|
|
job is running at priority 15. If the priority of the job is changed to 20,
|
||
|
|
then the priority of thread A is adjusted to 20 and the priority of thread
|
||
|
|
B is adjusted to 25. </dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Time slice (<span class="parmname">TIMESLICE</span>)</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>The maximum amount of processor time (in milliseconds) given to each thread
|
||
|
|
in a job using this class before other threads in a job or other jobs are
|
||
|
|
given the opportunity to run. The time slice establishes the amount of time
|
||
|
|
needed by a thread in a job to accomplish a meaningful amount of processing.
|
||
|
|
At the end of the time slice, the thread might be put in an inactive state
|
||
|
|
so that other threads can become active in the storage pool. </dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Default wait time (<span class="parmname">DFTWAIT</span>)</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>The default amount of time that the system waits for the completion of
|
||
|
|
an instruction that performs a wait. This wait time applies to times when
|
||
|
|
an instruction is waiting for a system action, not to the time an instruction
|
||
|
|
is waiting for a response from a user. Normally, this is the amount of time
|
||
|
|
you are willing to wait for the system before ending the request. If the wait
|
||
|
|
time is exceeded, an error message is passed to the job. This default wait
|
||
|
|
time is used when a wait time is not otherwise specified for a given situation.
|
||
|
|
<p>The wait time used for allocating file resources is specified in the file
|
||
|
|
description and can be overridden by an override command. It specifies that
|
||
|
|
the wait time specified in the class object is used. If file resources are
|
||
|
|
not available when the file is opened, the system waits for them until the
|
||
|
|
wait time ends. </p>
