Indicates the identity of the processor on which the job must execute (in JES3).

The System Affinity parameter has different effects, depending on which release of JES is in use.

NOTE: If a value is specified for the System Affinity parameter, it does not override any system identity specified in the job statement unless the OVERJCLM parameter in the CTMPARM library is set to Y.

Under JES2

If Control-M is running under JES2, the System Affinity parameter is used to specify the JES2 system on which the job is to be initiated and executed. If a value is specified for the System Affinity parameter, the following JCL statement is generated:

/*JOBPARM SYSAFF=sys_id

Under JES3

If Control-M is running under JES3, the System Affinity parameter is used to specify the JES3 processor that is to execute the job. If a value is specified for the System Affinity parameter, the following JCL statement is generated:

//*MAIN SYSTEM=processor_id

EXAMPLE: Under JES2

The following values are entered to the job processing definition:

Under JES3

The following values are entered to the job processing definition:
