Before you can submit a batch job, you must create and enable a batch queue. The batch queue accepts requests to execute shell scripts, commands, or executables non-interactively.
You might also want to create one or more pipe queues on your system. A pipe queue accepts requests to send batch jobs to another queue. Typically, you create a pipe queue when you need access to a batch queue on another system.
Note the following limitations on creating queues:
-
You must have manager privileges to create a queue.
-
When naming a queue, you can use any alphanumeric and punctuation characters, except for the punctuation characters [@ \ ( ) = ,]. The first character cannot be - or /.
