Job scheduler custom properties
Custom properties modify the job scheduler configuration. You can use these settings to tune the job scheduler behavior beyond the settings that are in the administrative console.
MaxConcurrentDispatchers
Define this custom property if jobs are being dispatched slowly when large numbers of jobs are submitted. By default, MaxConcurrentDispatchers is set to 100. MaxConcurrentDispatchers is an optional custom property.
Scope | Valid values | Default |
---|---|---|
Job scheduler | Integer value greater than 0 | 100 |
UseHTTPSConnection
Define this custom property if you want to enable HTTP SSL connections between the job scheduler and the common batch container. By default, HTTP SSL connections are disabled. UseHTTPSConnection is an optional custom property.
Scope | Valid values | Default |
---|---|---|
Job scheduler |
|
false (disabled) |
RECORD_SMF_SUBTYPES
Define this property to indicate which SMF 120 record subtype you want to use to record job usage data. By default, SMF 120 subtype 20 records are used. RECORD_SMF_SUBTYPES is an optional custom property.
Scope | Valid values | Default |
---|---|---|
Job scheduler cell |

20 |
JOB_SECURITY_POLICY
Define this property to indicate whether administrative roles, groups, or a combination of the two can act on a set of jobs.
Scope | Valid values | Default |
---|---|---|
Job scheduler |
|
ROLE |
JOB_SECURITY_DEFAULT_GROUP
Define this custom property so that you can assign a user group to a job. You can use this property if either group or group and role security is active.
You can also assign a group to a job using the group attribute on the job definition in the xJCL. The group attribute takes precedence over the value on the JOB_SECURITY_DEFAULT_GROUP custom property. If you do not specify the group attribute on the job definition or this custom property, the job scheduler assigns the default group name.
Scope | Valid values | Default |
---|---|---|
Job scheduler | A user-defined user group name | JSYSDFLT |
JOB_SECURITY_ADMIN_GROUP
Define this custom property so that you can assign an administrative group to each job.
Scope | Valid values | Default |
---|---|---|
Job scheduler | A user defined administrative group name | JSYSADMN |
UseAPCEndpointSelection
Define this property if you want to use the application placement controller for job placement. You cannot use the application placement controller for job placement on the z/OS platform. Setting this property allows the application placement controller to select the endpoint. Otherwise, the grid application placement does the selection.
Scope | Valid values | Default |
---|---|---|
Job scheduler | true | false |
WXDBulletinBoardProviderOption
Define this property if you want to use the application placement controller for job placement. You cannot use the application placement controller for job placement on the z/OS platform. Setting this custom property with a value of HAMBB overlays the base bulletin board for Intelligent Management with the high availability manager bulletin board. Batch and Intelligent Management can then use the same bulletin board to talk to each other.
Scope | Valid values | Default |
---|---|---|
Job scheduler cell | HAMBB | None |
