Job Type: This drop-down list lets you choose the job type that applies to this job. This setting is
optional and is leveraged by the server to provide better quality completion time calculation for the
job.
The job type options (completion time algorithms) include:
normal: The default job type. If this job has joblets, the job is based on PSPACE progression
algorithm. If it does not have joblets, it is based on historical wall time average.
workflow: This job type does not offer a time algorithm to the server.
pspace: If this job has joblets, the job is based on PSPACE progression. If it does not have
joblets, do not offer a time algorithm.
fixedtime: This job type directs the server to use a time algorithm based on historical wall time
average.
fixedgcycles: If this job has joblets, the job is based on average gcycles and current
consumption rate. If it does not have joblets, the job is based on historical wall time average.
NOTE: You can change this setting at runtime to refine the calculation time as the job progresses.
For example, the zosmake job might start out as type normal, but when all tasks have been
submitted, you could change it to type workflow to allow its subjobs to drive the end time.
In the Fact Editor, the Job Type fact is listed as
<fact name="job.jobtype" value="normal" type="String" />
Job Timeout: Enter the amount of time (in seconds) after which the server can take action to cancel
the whole job, including all joblets and subjobs. A value of
In the Fact Editor, this fact is listed as
<fact name="job.timeout" value="-1" type="Integer" />
Job Auto Terminate: This check box is selected by default. When it is selected (that is, its value is
"true"), the job ends when all child jobs and joblets are executed.
In the Fact Editor, this fact is listed as
<fact name="job.autoterminate" value="true" type="Boolean" />
Queue Type: This drop-down list lets you choose the queue type that applies to this job. This setting
is optional and is leveraged by the server to provide a better quality start time calculation for the job.
The queue type options (start time algorithms) include:
none: The start time is always unknown for jobs that are queued.
pfifo: (Packet First In First Out) The start time implemented through policies. The server is
directed to look at the job as having a finite number of active slots, so its start time depends on
its position in the queue and the estimated end time of running jobs of this type. The FIFO
queue for this queue reshuffles based on priority.
fifo: (First In First Out) The start time implemented through policies. The server is directed to
look at the job as having a finite number of active slots, so its start time depends on its position
in the queue (first-come, first-served) and the estimated end time of running jobs of this type.
The FIFO queue for this job does not reshuffle based on priority.
