Defining job policies

You should be familiar with the following general information:

• BatchPlexes

• User Control Exit

• History data

• Subsystems used by Job Optimizer

• Performance processing for batch jobs.

The MainView Batch Optimizer customization process creates a sample job policy definition in the control data set. The panels and pop-up panels that are shown in this section are based on that sample job policy.

Online Help is available for all panels, pop-up panels, and fields while you are registering job policy definitions.
