Re: Question on SDSF/JES2

I suggest you give your programmers OPERCMDS authority to issue the STOP command...

MVS CANCEL and STOP can be controlled by jobname:

MVS.CANCEL.JOB.jobname
MVS.STOP.JOB.jobname

That works if the names of the jobs can be known in advance. If you have no job naming conventions, or if the code in question can run in any job, then I agree it's not an ideal solution.

I've been pondering this and I'm not sure why SDSF prevents MVS commands from being issued against jobs assigned the PROTECTED attribute by JES2. There's no way it could prohibit such commands for jobs shown on DA that are running in a different MAS. Therefore, its behavior in this regard is inconsistent and, in your case at least, quite undesirable and perhaps arguably wrong.

In general, it seems to me that MVS commands should not be allowed or disallowed based on any JES-assigned attribute. Only JES commands should be sensitive to such things.
