Command Authorization

Only the following commands may be sent to a JES3 node for execution; all other commands are invalid:

*I J={job name or job-number}
display job status by job name or job number
*I B
display statistics for number of jobs waiting to be processed
*I Q[,N={xx|ALL}]
display status of all jobs
*F J=jobno,{H,R,C,CP,CO}
hold, release, cancel, or cancel and print a job

The above inquiry commands will only display information about jobs submitted by the node issuing the command. The modify command will only modify jobs submitted by the node and userid/remote id issuing the command.

The installation can provide an exit (IATUX35) that will accept other commands, or place further restrictions on the commands listed above. This exit replaces JES3 standard validation/authorization of the command. (In addition, exit IATUX18 may be used for additional authorization checking.)

Note: For Version 3.1.3 and all subsequent releases, JES3 supports the use of all commands.
