<h1 class="topictitle1">How jobs are taken from multiple job queues</h1>
<div><p>A subsystem processes jobs from a job queue based on sequence number.
A subsystem can have more than one job queue entry and can therefore allocate
more than one job queue. </p>
<p> The maximum number of jobs from a queue is specified by
the Maximum active jobs <span class="parmname">MAXACT</span> parameter on the Add Job
Queue Entry (<span class="cmdname">ADDJOBQE</span>) or the Change Job Queue Entry (<span class="cmdname">CHGJOBQE</span>)
commands. You can also control how many jobs of each priority can be active
by using the Maximum active priority <span class="parmname">MAXACTx</span> parameters.
For example, if MAXACT=10, MAXACT5=2, and there are three jobs on the job
queue at priority level 5, then only two of them can become active at any
given time.</p>
<p>The subsystem processes jobs from the job queue with the lowest sequence
number first. When all of the jobs that are on the job queue have been processed,
or when the maximum number of jobs from the queue is reached, the subsystem
processes jobs from the queue with the next higher sequence number.</p>
<p>The sequence continues until the subsystem has processed all of the available
job queue entries or until the subsystem has reached its limit of jobs that
can be running or waiting in the subsystem. The number of jobs that can be
running or waiting is determined by the Maximum active jobs (<span class="parmname">MAXACT</span>)
parameter in the subsystem description. In some cases the sequence is interrupted
as jobs end or are transferred. Creating, holding, and releasing job queues
can also change the sequence of job queues processed.</p>
