Syntax

The parameters are defined as follows:

Parameter	Description
asi	address space instance; see Identifying-address-spaces for more information
newclass	new service class name to be applied to the address space
QUIESCE (Q)	address space is to be quiesced
RESUME (R)	service class for the specified address space is to be set according to the current service policy

Usage notes

The following points detail what the ESCLASS service can do.

display a list of all service classes in the current service policy and their descriptions
This display is produced when the ESCLASS service is executed without any operands.
display the service class for a specific address space and service-related information
This display is produced when a job name or ASID is specified as the first and only parameter. The ASID must be enclosed in parentheses and is assumed to be a decimal value unless preceded by an x.
Example
(x24) = (36)
change the service class for an address space
This action is taken when a valid job name (or ASID) is specified as the first parameter and a valid service class is specified as the second parameter.
Example
ESCLASS,(x24),newclass will change the service class for the job in the address space with an ASID of decimal 36 (hexadecimal 24) to newclass.
quiesce an address space by specifying a valid job name or ASID as the first parameter and Q or QUIESCE as the second parameter
Example
ESCLASS job1,Q will quiesce job1.
resume (restart) a job that has been quiesced and cause the service class to be set according to the current service policy
Specify the name of a job or an ASID as the first parameter and the keyword RESUME as the second parameter.
Important
Resuming a job causes the appropriate service class in the current service policy to be applied to the specified job. If you are resetting the job to reverse a QUIESCE, check the service class that is displayed to ensure that it is the desired service class. If not, use the ESCLASS service to change the service class. An example of resuming an address space:
ESCLASS,JOB1,RESUME
