HP OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual

The SJC$_NO_RESTART item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that a job cannot restart after a system failure or after a requeue operation. It is the default for batch jobs.

(Valid for SJC$_ALTER_JOB, SJC$_CREATE_JOB, SJC$_ENTER_FILE function codes)

SJC$_RETAIN_ALL_JOBS

SJC$_RETAIN_ERROR_JOBS

SJC$_NO_RETAIN_JOBS

The SJC$_RETAIN_ALL_JOBS item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that jobs are to be retained in the queue with a completion status after they have been executed.

The SJC$_RETAIN_ERROR_JOBS item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that jobs are to be retained only if the job completed unsuccessfully (the job's completion status has the low bit clear).

The SJC$_NO_RETAIN_JOBS item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that jobs are not to be retained in the queue after they have completed. It is the default.

(Valid for SJC$_ALTER_QUEUE, SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE, SJC$_START_QUEUE function codes)

SJC$_SCSNODE_NAME

Input value item code. It specifies the name of the node for which the command is to execute. The buffer must specify a 1- to 6-character string that matches the value of the system parameter SCSNODE in effect on the target node.

When used with the function codes of SJC$_STOP_ALL_QUEUES_ON_NODE, SJC$_DISABLE_AUTOSTART, and SJC$_ENABLE_AUTOSTART, this item code requests a function on a node other than the node from which the $SNDJBC request is sent.

SJC$_SCSNODE_NAME is meaningful only for execution queues in a cluster environment. By default, the queue executes on the node from which the queue is first started. For an output execution queue, you use the SJC$_DEVICE_NAME item code to specify the name of the device managed by the queue.

(Valid for SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE, SJC$_DISABLE_AUTOSTART, SJC$_ENABLE_AUTOSTART, SJC$_START_QUEUE, SJC$_STOP_ALL_QUEUES_ON_NODE function codes)

SJC$_SEARCH_STRING

Input value item code. It is meaningful only for output execution queues. The buffer must specify a string of no more than 63 characters. This item code specifies that printing is to resume at the page containing the first occurrence of the specified string. The search for the string proceeds in the forward direction.

(Valid for SJC$_START_QUEUE function code)

SJC$_SERVER

Boolean item code. It is meaningful only for output queues. It specifies that the queue being created is a server queue. The term server indicates that a user-modified or user-written symbiont process is controlling an output execution queue, or a generic queue has server execution queues as its targets.

The SJC$_BATCH, SJC$_PRINTER, SJC$_SERVER, and SJC$_TERMINAL item codes are mutually exclusive. If none of these item codes are specified, the default is SJC$_PRINTER.

(Valid for SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE function code)

SJC$_TERMINAL

SJC$_NO_TERMINAL

The SJC$_TERMINAL item code is a Boolean item code. It is meaningful only for output queues. It specifies that the queue being created is a terminal queue.

The SJC$_BATCH, SJC$_PRINTER, SJC$_SERVER, and SJC$_TERMINAL item codes are mutually exclusive. If none of these item codes are specified, the default is SJC$_PRINTER.

The SJC$_NO_TERMINAL item code is a Boolean item code. It designates the queue type as printer rather than terminal. It is the default.

For the SJC$_START_QUEUE function code, SJC$_TERMINAL and SJC$_NO_TERMINAL are supported for compatibility with VAX VMS Version 4.n, but might not be supported in the future. For SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE, SJC$_NO_TERMINAL is supported for compatibility with VAX VMS Version 4.n, and might not be supported in the future.

(Valid for SJC$_START_QUEUE function code)

SJC$_UIC

Input value item code. This value specifies the 4-byte UIC of the user on behalf of whom the request is made. By default, the UIC is taken from the requesting process.

(Valid for SJC$_CREATE_JOB, SJC$_ENTER_FILE function codes)

SJC$_USERNAME

Input value item code. It specifies the user name of the user on behalf of whom the request is made. The buffer must specify a string from 1 to 12 characters. By default, the user name is taken from the requesting process.

You need CMKRNL privilege to use this item code.

(Valid for SJC$_CREATE_JOB, SJC$_ENTER_FILE function codes)

SJC$_WSDEFAULT

SJC$_NO_WSDEFAULT

The SJC$_WSDEFAULT item code is an input value item code. It is meaningful only for batch jobs and execution queues. It specifies, pagelets (on Alpha and Integrity server systems), the default working set size for batch jobs or jobs initiated from a batch queue, or the default working set size of a symbiont process connected to an output queue. A symbiont process can control several output queues; however, the default working set size of the symbiont process is established by the first queue to which it is connected. The buffer must contain a longword integer value in the range 1 through 65,535.

The SJC$_NO_WSDEFAULT item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that the system is to determine the working set default. It is the default.

For batch jobs, the default working set size, working set quota, and working set extent (maximum size) are included in each user record in the system user authorization file (UAF). You can specify values for these items for individual jobs or for all jobs in a given queue, or for both. Table SYS-55 shows the action taken when you specify a value for SJC$_WSDEFAULT.

Description

The Send to Job Controller service creates, stops, and manages queues and the batch and print jobs in those queues. The $SNDJBC and $GETQUI (Get Queue Information) services together provide the user interface to the queue manager and job controller processes. See the description of the $GETQUI service for a discussion of queues and jobs initiated from those queues.
$SNDJBC completes asynchronously; that is, it returns to the caller after queuing the request, without waiting for the operation to complete.
To synchronize the completion of most operations, you use the Send to Job Controller and Wait ($SNDJBCW) service. The $SNDJBCW service is identical to $SNDJBC in every way except that $SNDJBCW returns to the caller after the operation completes.
Types of Queues

The VMS batch and print queuing system supports several types of queues, which aid in the processing of batch and print jobs. The different types of queues can be divided into three major categories according to the way the system processes the jobs assigned to the queue. The three types of queues are execution, generic, and logical. Execution queues schedule jobs for execution; generic and logical queues transfer jobs to execution queues. Within these major classifications, queue type is further defined by the kinds of job the queues can accept for processing. Some types of execution and generic queues accept batch jobs; other types accept print jobs. Logical queues are restricted to print jobs.
You create a queue by making a call to $SNDJBC specifying the SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE function code. Item codes that you optionally specify in the call determine the type of queue you create. The following list describes the various types of execution, generic, and logical queues and indicates which item codes you need to specify to create them:

Execution queue. An execution queue schedules jobs for processing. In an OpenVMS Cluster environment, jobs are processed on the node that manages the execution queue. There are two types of execution queues:

Batch execution queue. A batch execution queue can schedule only batch jobs for execution. A batch job executes as a detached process that sequentially runs one or more command procedures; you define the list of command procedures as part of the initial job description. You create a batch execution queue by specifying the SJC$_BATCH item code in the call to the $SNDJBC service.
Output execution queue. An output execution queue schedules print jobs for processing by an independent symbiont process associated with the queue. The job controller sends the symbiont a list of files to process; you define this list of files as part of the initial job description. As the symbiont processes each file, it produces output for the device, such as a printer or terminal, that it controls.
The standard print symbiont image provided by the operating system is designed to print files on hardcopy devices. User-modified or user-written symbionts also can be designed for this or any other file processing activity managed by the batch and print queuing system. The symbiont image that executes jobs from an output queue is specified by the SJC$_PROCESSOR item code. If you omit this item code, the standard print symbiont image, PRTSMB, is associated with the queue.
There are three types of output execution queue:

Printer execution queue. This type of queue typically uses the standard print symbiont to direct output to a line printer. You can specify a user-provided symbiont in the SJC$_PROCESSOR item code. You create a printer execution queue by specifying the SJC$_PRINTER item code when you create the output execution queue. A printer execution queue is the default type of output execution queue.
Terminal execution queue. This type of queue typically uses the standard print symbiont to direct output to a terminal printer. You can specify a user-provided symbiont in the SJC$_PROCESSOR item code. You create a terminal execution queue by specifying the SJC$_TERMINAL item code when you create the output execution queue.
Server execution queue. This type of queue uses the user-modified or user-written symbiont you specify in the SJC$_PROCESSOR item code to process the files that belong to jobs in the queue. You create a server execution queue by specifying the SJC$_SERVER item code when you create the output execution queue.

When you create an output execution queue, you can initially mark it as either a printer, terminal, or server execution queue. However, when the queue is started, the symbiont process associated with the queue can change the queue type from the type designated at its creation to a printer, terminal, or server execution queue, as follows:

When an output execution queue associated with the standard print symbiont is started, the symbiont determines whether it is controlling a printer or terminal. It communicates this information to the job controller. If necessary, the job controller then changes the type designation of the output execution queue.
When an output execution queue associated with a user-modified or user-written symbiont is started, the symbiont has the option of identifying the queue to the job controller as a server queue. If the user-written or user-modified symbiont does not notify the job controller that it wants to change the queue type designation, the output execution queue retains the queue type designation it received when it was created.

Generic queue. A generic queue holds a job until an appropriate execution queue becomes available to initiate the job; the job controller then requeues the job to the available execution queue. In a cluster environment, a generic queue can direct jobs to execution queues that are located on other nodes in the cluster.
You create a generic queue by specifying the SJC$_GENERIC_QUEUE item code in the call to the $SNDJBC service. You designate each execution queue to which the generic queue can direct jobs by specifying the SJC$_GENERIC_TARGET item code. Because a generic queue can direct jobs to more than one execution queue, you can specify the SJC$_GENERIC_TARGET item code up to 124 times in a single call to $SNDJBC to define a complete set of execution queues for any generic queue. If you do not specify the SJC$_GENERIC_TARGET item code, the generic queue directs jobs to any execution queue that is the same type of queue as the generic queue; that is, a generic batch queue will direct a job to any available batch execution queue, and so on. There is one exception: a generic queue will not direct work to any execution queue that was created in a call to $SNDJBC that specified the SJC$_NO_GENERIC_SELECTION item code.
There are two types of generic queue:

Generic batch queue. A generic batch queue can direct jobs only to batch execution queues. You create a generic batch queue by specifying both the SJC$_GENERIC_QUEUE and SJC$_BATCH item codes in the call to the $SNDJBC service.
Generic output queue. A generic output queue can direct jobs to any of the three types of output execution queue: printer, terminal, or server. Creating a generic output queue that directs jobs to any combination of the three types of output execution queue is possible. Typically, however, when you create a generic output queue, you specify a list of type-specific target queues. This way, the generic output queue directs jobs to a single type of output execution queue. Thus, you can control whether the jobs submitted to the generic output execution queue are output on a line printer or a terminal printer or are sent to a server symbiont for processing. You create a generic output queue by specifying the SJC$_GENERIC_QUEUE item code in the call to the $SNDJBC service.

Logical queue. A logical queue performs the same function as a generic output queue, except that a logical queue can direct jobs to only a single printer, terminal, or server execution queue. A logical queue is only an output queue that has been assigned to transfer its jobs to one execution queue.
To change an output queue into a logical queue, you make a call to the $SNDJBC service while the output queue is in a stopped state. The call must specify the SJC$_ASSIGN_QUEUE function code and the SJC$_DESTINATION_QUEUE item code. You use the SJC$_DESTINATION_QUEUE item code to specify the execution queue to which the logical queue should direct jobs. When the logical queue is started, it automatically requeues its jobs to the specified execution queue as that execution queue becomes available. You can change a logical queue back to its original output queue definition by specifying the SJC$_DEASSIGN_QUEUE function code in a subsequent call to the $SNDJBC service.

Queue Protection

This section describes UIC-based protection checking that is performed by the $SNDJBC service to control access to queues.
As an alternative to this form of protection checking, you can associate ACLs with queues using the appropriate security services. See the $GET_SECURITY and $SET_SECURITY system services for more information.
There are two aspects to UIC-based queue protection:

When you create a queue, you assign it a UIC by using the SJC$_OWNER_UIC item code. If you do not specify this item code, the queue is given the default UIC [1,4].
You can assign a queue a protection mask by specifying the SJC$_PROTECTION item code. This protection mask specifies read, submit, manage, and delete access for the four categories of user: Owner, Group, World, and System.

In addition, certain queue operations require the caller of $SNDJBC to have certain privileges. The function codes that require privileges are listed in the Privileges and Restrictions section.
When a job is submitted to a queue, it is assigned a UIC that is the same as the UIC of the process submitting the job, unless the SJC$_UIC item code is specified to supply a different UIC.
For each requested operation, the $SNDJBC service checks the UIC and privileges of the requesting process against the UIC of the queue, protection specified for the queue, and the privileges, if any, required for the operation. This checking is performed in a way similar to the way that the file system checks access to a file by comparing the owner UIC and protection of the file with the UIC and privileges of the requester.
Operations that apply to jobs are checked against read and delete protection specified for the queue in which the job is entered and the owner UIC of the job. In general, read access to a job allows you to determine that the job exists; delete access to a job allows you to affect the job.
Operations that apply to queues are checked against the submit and manage protection specified for the queue and the owner UIC of the queue. In general, submit access to a queue allows you to submit jobs to the queue; manage access to a queue allows you to act as an operator for the queue, including the ability to affect jobs in the queue, to affect accounting, and to alter queues. OPER privilege grants manage access to all queues.
