Hi,

I have a set of 20 jobs. On successfull completion of Frist job it will trigger the next jobs. But, there are jobs that run for long time. Jus because of these jobs i dont want the other jobs in the line to wait. At any point of time 3 jobs can run under my id. So, i want to know how can i check the number of jobs running under my id and if the count is lessthan 3 i want to trigger the next job in the line to complete all the jobs with time efficiency.

Hi,

scheduling software is ideal for this, if you have it.

A little batch SDSF REXX sound like a nice solution...

but why, asked for the zilliotnth time, do You want to write Your own scheduler

talk to your support to investigate the use of Your scheduler special resources
that' s what they are called in the TWS environment

note special resources are some kind of enqueue mechanism that keep also count of the enqueues
