Global Controls

The various global options that control Q-Xcelerator functionality comprise the Maintain Control Information submenu.

To access the global options, select Maintain Control Information (SUBMENU) from the Main Menu screen.

Figure 4.1 Q-Xcelerator Maintain Control Information Submenu screen

The Maintain Control Information Submenu screen will display the following global options:

Launch Monitor Job

Streams the batch program, QXMONJOB, which is responsible for actually enforcing all the Q-Xcelerator queue definitions that have been set up.

Terminate Monitor Job

Terminates the QXMONJOB, which also stops the QXMON program.

Reload Definitions

This option is used while QXMON is running (via the QXMONJOB program), to update QXMON with the most current Q-Xcelerator parameter settings.

Change Monitor Scan Delay

Displays the current delay time and prompts for a new delay time. The new value will not take effect until the Reload Definitions option is performed. The shorter the scan delay time, the more often Q-Xcelerator will check and adjust processes, and the more CPU time it will use.

Monitor Logging On/Off

Toggles on and off the generation of change records by QXMON whenever it modifies a process.

Concurrent Job Limit On/Off

Toggles on and off, on a global level, any concurrent job limits that have been set up. Any changes must be reloaded.

Exit Submenu

Exits the submenu and returns to the Main Menu screen.
