How
long does a job wait in REQ Queue, before it comes RDY Queue?
A Job
has to wait in the CA-7 REQ(Request)Queue, until all of the requirements it has
are satisfied. Requirements are like additional promises, which must be
fulfilled, before a job is allowed to run. Requirements could be anything like
, Completion of another job, Arrival(creation)of a file(Dataset), Submit Time,
User Hold or a Negative Dependency. Its only when all the Requirements, of a
job are fulfilled or posted, the job is brought to the Ready Queue(RDY).
Check
out this example. A Job X triggers Job Y, Job X completes everyday at 08:00AM.
Job Y has 2 requirements—R1 and R2. Job R1 completes at 07:00AM and Job R2
completes at 09:00AM. The question is, when does Job Y kick-off? I would say,
when Job X completes at 08:00AM, it triggers Job Y, so it brought to the
Request Queue at 08:00AM. The Requirement R1 of Job Y is satisfied, but it will
wait in Request Queue[REQ], till R2 is satisfied. When R2 completes at 09:00AM,
both the requirements are satisfied, and Job Y will be brought to the Ready
Queue[RDY].
