ENDINTJOB END INTERACTIVE JOBS TAAJODA |
The End Interactive Jobs command ends all interactive jobs. Various
selection criteria can be made as well as a list of omit devices and
users (see the Omit list discussion). The command may be used in
conjunction with the SNDINTMSG command which can inform users a few
minutes before ending their jobs.
You must have *JOBCTL special authority to use ENDINTJOB.
The command has no parameters and would be entered as:
ENDINTJOB
All interactive jobs would be ended except the current job and any
jobs found on the omit lists of devices and users. The current job
may be a batch job (the function is not restricted to interactive
use). The ENDJOB command is specified as OPTION(*IMMED).
The job running ENDINTJOB is not included in any of the completion
message counts.
By default, the jobs that will be ended are checked to see if they
hold or are waiting for record locks. You may also print a listing
of the record locks they hold.
Considerations
--------------
If multiple jobs exist at the same device, an ENDJOB command is used
for each job that should be ended. If group jobs or a system request
job (for the same user) exist, all jobs will be ended or retained
depending on the omit list. If the user has two jobs active at the
same device with different user profiles, each job is considered
separately.
Certain devices allow a 'jump' key to jump to a different job. If
the device causes a separate job name to be established, it will be
considered to be a separate device.
Omit list
---------
Two data areas exist in TAASECURE that can contain up to 45 entries
each of devices and users that should be omitted from the jobs that
will be ended. These are the same data areas that are used by the
SNDINTMSG command.
The data areas can only be maintained by an *ALLOBJ user and exist in
TAASECURE.
INTJOBDEV - List of omitted device names
INTJOBUSR - List of omitted user names
An *ALLOBJ user would maintain the device list by entering:
EDTCONARR DTAARA(TAASECURE/INTJOBDEV)
Enter names of devices (workstations) that should not be ended by
ENDINTJOB.
Note that client access device names are dynamically assigned and
cannot be effectively omitted.
ENDINTJOB escape messages you can monitor for
---------------------------------------------
None. Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.
Command parameters *CMD
------------------
SBS The subsystem to end jobs in. The default is *ALL.
If a specific subsystem is named, only jobs in that
subsystem will be considered.
DEV The device name (Job name) for the jobs that should
be ended. The default is *ALL. A specific or
generic name may also be entered.
USER The user name for the jobs that should be ended.
The default is *ALL. A specific or generic name may
also be entered.
TEST Whether this is a test of the function. *NO is the
default meaning that jobs may be ended by the ENDJOB
command.
*YES may be specified when testing the function.
Messages will be sent to the job log for each device
that would have been ended.
CHKRCDLCK Whether to check for record locks held or waiting in
a job to be ended. *YES is the default which causes
a check and an indication by job if any record locks
are held. If a job is holding record locks, it
either indicates a poor programming practice or the
user is actively processing.
*PRT may be specified to use the DSPRCDLCK2 *PRINT
function to print a listing if any jobs are found to
hold or be waiting on a record lock.
*NO may be specified to not check for record locks.
