Restricting a Job to Run on a Specific Node

To restrict a job to run on a specific node when you use fully customized load balancing, follow these steps:

  1. Define the logical name NSCHED$CUSTOM_LOAD_BALANCE as TRUE:
    $DEFINE/SYS/EXEC NSCHED$CUSTOM_LOAD_BALANCE "TRUE"
    
  2. Define the logical name SCHED$LBAL_JOBNUM_### to point to the node where you want the job to run:
    $DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC SCHED$LBAL_JOBNUM_3 "nodename"
