RESCHNG Command

Use the RESCHNG command to reduce the number of tape drive requirements for a job in the active queue.

Tape drives are held by a job until the job is complete. Holding tape drives can pose contention problems if you are using workload balancing to control the use of tape drives. A job can continue to hold the tape drives even though it no longer needs them. You can use RESCHNG to free the tape drives when they are no longer needed.

This command has the following format:

RESCHNG[,JOB=jobname]{,TP1=nnn}
                     {,TP2=nnn}
                     {,TP1=nnn,TP2=nnn}
