[mod.computers.vax] BATCH QUEUE QUESTION

MANAGER@SMITH.BITNET (Mary Malmros) (12/02/86)

     I couldn't find any DEC documentation which had a definite answer for
this, so I'm asking INFO-VAX.   When a batch queue is defined with certain
characteristics/quotas (i.e. base priority, max. cpu), and a user submits
a job with different characteristics (i.e. a higher priority, more cpu),
which limit takes effect?  Reason tells me that it OUGHT to be the queue's
limit, but does anyone know for sure?

As far as the priority is concerned the user can alter
its priority within the queue not the priority of its job
in the system.

        Hallow:
        1.- The Max CPU of the UAF, or of the Que, is documented in
        the DCL Dictionary, at the command INITIALIZE/QUE.
        2.- The UAF priority and the que priority are very different
        concepts. The uaf prior is the prior in the que (the order
        inside the que). The que prior is the prior in whitch the
        batch will work. The prior in the system.
