<<One of the underlying assumptions behind this proposal was that users/system administrators would not want to change all (or most) of the job scripts on their system to take advantage of the new feature. We wanted to provide a way of controlling the jobs on the system in a better way than is possible today, without having to change all the job scripts and UDC's. We need feedback from the customers whether this assumption is correct in the first place.>> Good initiative, bad assumption; the minutes a system administrator will spend making one-time changes to a group of job files, command files, or UDCs is microscopic compared to the time spent answering repetitive queries from users about the status of their jobs, the recurring need to reassign/reschedule jobs based on user demands, and the never-ending hassle of trying to fine-tune the existing system.
