You can update job priority for any job in the queue using only the parameters.xml file, not directly in the command line. For example, if jobs A and B are waiting in the queue and you want to run job B first, set the priority for B to HIGH and the priority for A to MEDIUM.
If security is enabled, the user's permissions must include Change job priority to modify the priority of jobs in the queue.
- At the Data Mover command line prompt, type datamove update_job_priorities -f parameters.xml, where the parameters.xml file identifies the new priority for each job to be updated.
The output for update_job_priorities will contain two lists; one list identifies the jobs that were updated successfully (success_list), and one that identifies any jobs that failed with the reason (failed_list).
