How to Access Job Management Manager

There are two ways to access the manager:

DCL interface (Chapter 4)

DCL commands provide easy access on all OpenVMS hardware platforms to job database information and current job status. You can run, modify, or review jobs by job name, number, group, owner, or type. The manager supports the use of wildcards on each of a job’s fields, so you can enter a single command for multiple jobs.

You can use the DCL interface to access the full set of Job Management Manager commands (general user commands and also management commands) if you have the required system privileges.

Motif interface (Chapter 5)

If you have a workstation or other DECwindows display device you can use the Motif interface, which provides you with a graphic view of Job Management Manager jobs. Jobs are represented by boxes. Job dependencies are indicated by arrows that show you the order in which jobs are performed.

You can access all general user commands using menus and dialog boxes; you cannot access management commands using the Motif interface.
