I guess my problem has something to do with the value of
resources_assigned.nodect. But even though that I'm in manager group,
I don't seem to be able the change its value:

Qmgr: set queue batch resources_assigned.nodect = 20
qmgr obj=batch svr=default: Cannot set attribute, read only or
insufficient permission  resources_assigned.nodect

I also created another queue. I could change any parameters of the
queue I could think of, except resources_assigned.nodect.
