Re: Monitor JobQs and OutQs

For the job queues, you might look at the job notification exit point. It 
consists of setting an entry for a subsystem that will put job info on a data 
queue when it enters a job queue in the subsystem. You could keep a count 
there. This would be real-time, if you need that. Otherwise the APIs could 
work, polling the job queues periodically. Look up "job notification" in the 
API documentation.

It is also possible to attach a data queue to an output queue, but I think this 
only records when the spooled file goes to READ status - not sure.
