Job Management Manager DCL Commands › SCHEDULE> › COPY › Qualifiers › /RUN_PRIORITY=process_priority_value

/RUN_PRIORITY=process_priority_value

Specifies the default process priority that the manager uses to run the job. This qualifier is supported with this command only for /MODE=DETACHED jobs. The process priority is a number between 1 and 16.

If you omit the value or use a less than or equal to 0, the manager runs the job at its default priority of 4.

If you specify a value greater than 16, the manager uses a value of 16.

The run priority should be set no higher than your system’s normal interactive job priority.

To choose a priority value for a Job Management Manager job, follow these rules:

• Use a value that is less than or equal to the default Job Management Manager value.
• Use a value that is greater than the default Job Management Manager priority and less than or equal to the job owner’s default priority in the UAF file.
• Use a value that is greater than the default Job Management Manager priority and greater than the job owner’s default priority, if the owner has SETPRV or ALTPRI default privileges.
• Use the higher of the two values—the Job Management Manager default or the job owner’s default—if the owner does not have SETPRV or ALTPRI privileges.

Note: You need SETPRV or ALTPRI privileges to run a job at a priority value greater than the default priority for the manager or the job owner (UAF file). See your system manager.
