The State Activity List displays the 19 EnterpriseSCHEDULE States. As jobs progress through the EnterpriseSCHEDULE state system, they will advance through many of these states depending on the type of job stream. The State Activity List displays how many jobs are in each state as indicated by the number and bar graph on the left side of the console.
In EnterpriseSCHEDULE all job scheduling activity is controlled by a series of queues. Each queue represents a state. For example, one queue is used to hold jobs waiting for disk space another indicates the job is ready to execute. The various scheduling queues are identified by a single letter. In general jobs start at the top (queue A) and progress downward (queue S).
States give you an in depth picture of the progress of your job and allows you to troubleshoot any problems or roadblocks your job may encounter. For example, suppose your job is in the Waiting for resources state for an extended period. If you are aware of this, you can take action and try to find the file that the job may require to continue.
