Parameter
rdisp/prio/btc
Short text
Priority class for the BTC work process
Parameter Description
Introduction of four relative priority classes based on the priority defined in the job description (JOBD):
HH (JOBD – 10)
H (JOBD – 5)
M (JOBD)
L (JOBD + 5)
MS, DISP, ENQ, GW : HH
UPD : H, M rdisp/prio/upd
DIA, UP2 : M
BTC : M, L rdisp/prio/btc
SPO : M, L rdisp/prio/spo
The priority in the JOBD must be between 15 and 80, if not, a warning is put out and JOBD is set to 20 (for JOBD < 15) and to 80 for JOBD > 80.
Priority adjustment is only possible if the dynamic priority scheduler in OS/400 is switched on (system value QDYNPTYSCD = 1).
The user is then allowed to specify the priority classes for UPD, BTC and SPO. Every other process has a fixed relative priority.
If QDYNPTYSCD = 0 and the parameters have values other than M, a warning is put out and all processes are running at JOBD.
