PRIORITY authorization specifies the highest priority that the user IDs can specify on a mount or allocate request. It controls where in the queue the user’s request is placed and how soon it is satisfied. The user ID can request priorities between 0 (the highest) and 99 (the lowest).
CA VM:Tape applies the most specific priority specified for a user ID. For example, you specify AUTHORIZ PRIORITY (10) SYS01 and AUTHORIZ PRIORITY (30) SYS*. User ID SYS01 can request a priority up to and including 10, while all other SYS* user IDs can request priorities up to 30.
If the AUTHORIZ PRIORITY record is omitted, the default priority is 0, but the users can specify any priority.
To set a default priority for all users, include a DEFPRIOR record in the VMTAPE CONFIG file. If the DEFPRIOR record is omitted, the system defaults to a priority of 50 and can be overridden for all users only by a lower priority (numerically higher) specified on the AUTHORIZ PRIORITY (nn) * record.
