ACTIVE |
The spool volume is in use. Allocation and deallocation of
spool space is permitted. The volume is allocated to all systems
in the multi-access spool complex. |
STARTING |
The spool volume is not yet ACTIVE. It is in the process of dynamic
allocation or formatting. During this time, the volume is being dynamically
allocated to each system in the multi-access spool complex. Allocation
or deallocation of spool space is not permitted. |
DRAINING |
Jobs already residing on the volume are selectable for processing;
also deallocation of spool space is permitted. Allocation of new
spool space is not permitted. The volume must be completely empty
before the drain process can complete. When the volume is completely
empty, the volume will be dynamically unallocated to all systems in
the multi-access spool complex. The spool volume then becomes DRAINED. |
DRAINED |
The spool volume is completely empty and unallocated, that is, no
allocated spool space remains on the volume, and the volume is unallocated
to all systems in the multi-access spool complex. The volume is no
longer known to JES2. |
HALTING |
The spool volume stops allocation of space and does not select new
work. Currently active work (that is, executing, printing, punching,
and so on.) is allowed to complete that phase. When all currently
active work on the volume completes, the volume will be dynamically
unallocated to all systems in the multi-access spool complex. The
spool volume then becomes INACTIVE. |
INACTIVE |
The spool volume can contain allocated tracks, but does not
permit further allocation or the processing of currently allocated
tracks. The volume has been unallocated on all systems in the multi-access
spool complex and can be removed by the operator. |
