Manage binding agents
The Job Binding Services (JBS) of BMC AMI Ops Automation for Batch ThruPut provide control of job routing by binding jobs to needed resources, ensuring they run where and when resources are available. Users do not need to change their JCL to route jobs appropriately.
A binding agent must be defined before it can be activated. It can be activated in the JECL of a started task, or by operator command. (Jobs are binded to agents in JAL) In general once you have defined an agent it remains in the system until you explicitly remove it. You are much more likely to activate and deactivate binding agents on a regular basis.

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Example 4
Example 5
Here you can see that four jobs are held because they are bound to agent BIND.TEST which is inactive.
Example 6
All of these jobs are bound to binding agents, though not necessarily held by them.
