fence
Changes the job fence on a workstation. Jobs are not launched
on the workstation if their priorities are less than or equal to the
job fence.
You must have fence access to the workstation.
Syntax
{fence | f} workstation
;pri
[;noask]
Arguments
- workstation
- Specifies the workstation name. The default is your login workstation.
- pri
- Specifies the priority level. You can enter 0 through 99, hi, go, or system. Entering system sets the job fence to zero.
- noask
- Specifies not to prompt for confirmation before taking action on each qualifying workstation.
Comments
The job fence prevents low priority jobs from being launched, regardless of the priorities of their job streams. It is possible, therefore, to hold back low priority jobs in high priority job streams, while allowing high priority jobs in low priority job streams to be launched.
When you first start HCL Workload Automation following installation, the job fence is set to zero. When you change the job fence, it is carried forward during preproduction processing to the next day's production plan.
To display the current setting of the job fence, use the status command.
