24.7 Job template matching attributes

The JOBMATCHCFG parameter allows you to establish relationships between a number of job templates. The table in Job template extension attributes indicates which job template types are compatible with which job template extension attributes. The following types of templates can be specified with the JOBMATCHCFG parameter:

Attribute	Description
JMAX	A potential job is rejected if it has matching attributes set or has resource requests that exceed those specified in this template. For JMAX, a job template can specify only positive non-zero numbers as maximum limits for generic resources. If a job requests a generic resource that is not limited by the template, then the template can still be used.
JMIN	A potential job is rejected if it does not have matching attributes set or has resource requests that do not meet or exceed those specified in this template.
JDEF	A matching job has the specified attributes set as defaults but all values can be overridden by the user if the matching attribute is explicitly set at job submission time.
JSET	A matching job has the specified attributes forced to these values and these values override any values specified by the submitter at job submission time.
JSTAT	A matching job has its usage statistics reported into this template.
