Re: Restricting a SYSPLEX LPAR with WLM

Not sure if this helps but I had a two step method that worked

What I did was setup the JESPARMS so all Jobclasses but 1 were specified SCAN=YES (so anything submitted was scanned as though TYPRUN=SCAN was specified on the jobcard) and we, the SP's, knew what that 1, non SCAN=YES, class was. This is the class we used on our jobcards when we submitted work.

However, no initiators were setup to execute that jobclass. So, to get the job to run, we would change the jobclass, via SDSF or the operators console, to a class that would be picked up by an initiator. Since only SP's had the authority to change job classes in SDSF, it worked.

The only way someone would bypass this "control" was to have an operator friend. But that only worked one time per operator. ;)

YMMV

Bob,

Using just WLM? Not that I know of.

Using just one class of initiators that only SYSPROGS know are there,
and stopping/starting them on a schedule, might get you there, but it's
far from foolproof.

JES2 exits can get you there (to help make the one jobclass thing
foolproof).

Thruput Manager, properly configured, can get the job done in a
thorough, elegant, and manageable manner, but it's not free.

HTH,

In all the years since this post, has anyone come up with a new, good,
foolproof way to have one LPAR in a JES2 SYSPLEX only run SYSPROG jobs
during a test window?
