<h1 class="topictitle1">Subsystems, job queues, and memory pools</h1>
<div><p>You can control work on the servers by working with the resources
used to process jobs.</p>
<p>Subsystems, job queues, and memory pools are the basic parts of work management.
You can work with subsystems and job queues to manage specific jobs or to
adjust the system's work flow.</p>
<p>To efficiently use system resources, different types of jobs require different
processing instructions and system resources. To meet this need, the operating
system creates unique operating environments called <em>subsystems</em>. Each
subsystem has a set of system resources, especially a memory pool, that determines
how quickly it can process jobs. Subsystems also have unique processing instructions
and, in many cases, at least one associated job queue. The job queues hold
incoming jobs from the users or applications until an associated subsystem
has available resources. The job then moves from its queue into the subsystem
where it is processed based on the instructions and resources available to
that subsystem. Finally, any output that results from job processing gets
handled and routed by the instructions in the job description.</p>
<p>During this process, you may want to monitor a job's progress or adjust
its priority. Also, if the iSeries™ server is having trouble processing certain
types of jobs, you may need to adjust the subsystems resources.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Work with subsystems, job queues and memory pools</h4><p>iSeries Navigator
allows you to view subsystem properties, view job queues that are in use by
an active subsystem, start and stop a subsystem, and adjust memory pools.
These functions are available under <span class="uicontrol">Work Management</span> in iSeries Navigator.
However, some subsystem commands are only available from the character-based
interface.</p>
