Pipe Policy Rules1
Pipe Policy Rules (also called Pipe Rules ) are user-defined parameters that determine how Job Optimizer Pipes will set and manage job-to-job pipes and pipes that are compatible with IBM BatchPipes (when BatchPipes Phased Migration is used).
The Pipe Policy Rules are identified by their data set name. For job-to-job pipes, they contain definitions that are used by Job Optimizer Pipes for pipe control (for example, the number of writers and readers) and selection criteria to identify candidates for pipe processing. For pipes that are compatible with IBM BatchPipes, they only identify candidates for using Job Optimizer Pipes services instead of BatchPipes services.
The Pipe Policy Rules are saved in partitioned data set members (called Pipe Policy Tables ).
JOPDEFRL is the Pipe Rule defaults member. It contains default values for all fields in the rule definition. The Pipe Rule default values can be customized for your site. When a job-to-job pipe is used, Job Optimizer Pipes automatically assigns values from the Pipe Rule defaults for fields that are not filled in by the user during Pipe Policy Rule definition.
