Assign Appropriate Priority to the Control-M Monitor

Use MVS System Resources Manager (SRM) parameters to assign an appropriate priority so the Control‑M monitor can receive enough CPU and other computer resources to perform the necessary tasks.

Appropriate priority must also be assigned to JES, because the Control‑M monitor communicates extensively with JES.

Online-oriented sites that run JES with low priority during service hours must increase the priority of JES before main batch processing begins. This can be done automatically by scheduling a CTMOPR started task at the appropriate time to issue an appropriate SET ICS and/or SET IPS command.
