The batch facility virtual machine is invoked by the Qatch operator when
he issues the CP IPL command with PAR! BATCH or CP IPL followed by the C!SBATCH command. The latter method follows:
ipl cms CMS mm/dd/yy WED 17.58.48
cmsbatch Y/S (19E) R/O.
THE FOLLOWING NAMES ARE UNDEFINED: BATEXIT1 BATEXIT2 R; T=O.14/0.39 08:47:40 WAITING FOR THE READER
The operator may now disconnect the batch machine terminal, if he
wishes, using the CP DISCONN command. The Batch Facility will IPt ·itself after each job is executed.
All v irtual machine (CMS) console output is a utomatically spooled to
a file to be printed after the program output at the real system
printer. All commands entered through the virtual reader are displayed
on the console to allow them to appear in the console output file. If
the batch terminal is disconnected, only CP and batch initialization messages are displayed at the terminal.

CONTROLLING THE BATCH FACILITY The batch facility permits CP and CMS commands to be issued from the
batch job stream submitted by the user.
The following CP commands, and only these commands, control the batch
virtual machine: • CHANGE - May not be used to change the virtual card reader. • CLOSE - Hay not be. used to change the virtual card rE!ader. • DETACH - May not be used to change the virtual spool devices or the
system, IPL, or 195 disks. • DUMP • DISPLAY • LINK -A maximum of 10 links may be in effect at anyone time;
and, LINK must be used as shown in the following format: CP LINK userid vaddr vaddr mode password I • HSG I = QUERY ,. SET , I • SPOOL I • STORE I • TAG
- Only the following SET command operands are allowed under eMS batch: ABBREV DOS I!PEX LDRTBLS NONSHARE RDY!SG SYSNA!E UPSI - May not be used to change the virtual card reader.

Page of GC20-1806-9 As Updated April 1, 1981 by TNL GN25-0834 When CP commands are used to control the CMS batch virtual machine,
they must be preceded by the CMS CP command, because the implied CP function is disabled when batch initializes a job.
The following CMS commands are disabled under the Batch READCARD DISK LOAD The FILEDEF and ASSGN commands are also disabled for use in defining
the virtual card reader.
A more complete description regarding control of the CMS Batch
virtual machine is contained in the VK/370: CKS Guide. It
describes the user control cards and suggests control techniques as well
as how to control the batch machine using EXEC procedures.
The batch virtual machine spools output resulting from program OVO,...1,+;nn +n +},.o '''''''';'1'\+0lI0..- ... .... J..." .. h ... .; ....... .; ........ wu_ __ userid, with the submitting userid's distribution code, a spool filename
of CMSBATCH, and a spool filetype of JOB (unless a job name was
specified on the /JOB card).
The console output is always spooled. Therefore, if the console is
disconnected, the CMS console output is spooled to a file that is
printed following the user's program execution output at the real system
printer, with the submitting userid as distribution code, a spool
filename of BATCH, and a spool filetype of CONSOLE. If the CP TAG command has been used to identify spool files or to
direct these files to other virtual machines or remote work stations,
BATCH resets the spooling devices for the next job. PURGING, REORDERING, AND RESTARTING BATCH JOBS When required, the spooling operator can control the execution of batch
virtual machine jobs by purging, reordering, and restarting them; by the
same token, because all the closed printer files are queued for system
output under the submitting userid, the submitting user can change,
purge, or reorder these files prier to processing on the system printer.
To purge a job executing under the Batch Konitor, follow the
procedure below: Signal attention and enter the virtual machine environment.
2. Enter the HX (halt executionl immediate command.
3. Disconnect the virtual machine using the CP DISCONN command.
The HX command causes the Batch Facility to abnormally terminate.
This provides the user with an error message and a CP dump of the Batch
Facility virtual machine. The Batch Monitor then loads itself again and
starts the next job (if any).
To purge an individual input spool file that is not yet executing,
issue the CP PURGE command: PURGE READER spoolid
