Re: WRKACTJOB entries

I'm not exactly sure what you need, so here goes, anyhow!!

I'd google for things - take the job name and search for it - if it has numbers at the end, search for the first part only - like QPADEV0001 - just search for QPADEV.

For subsystem jobs, there is a subsystem description object - do a WRKOBJ *ALL/*ALL *SBSD and look at the ones that match and see what their description is. That'd be a start.

There is a command, WRKSBS, that lists the active ones = there is an option there to look at the SBSD - there's be a text description there, too, methinks.

IBM jobs and objects always (?) have a Q in position 1. After that, they tend to have 2-character values that refer to a category - QDB is database, QSQ is maybe SQL. I don't know them all but make educated guesses from time to time. QZDASOINIT is a different layout - Q, of course, then Z that I don't know - then DA, which I take as Data Access, SO is maybe SignOn, and INIT is initialize - maybe!

Then there are the various FTP jobs - they are QTFTPxxxx - maybe the T is for TCP/IP - I'm not aware of a published list of the prefixes for IBM stuff, by the way. I'd love to see it, just cuz I'm curious.

I'm looking to create a document that we can use to assist with
troubleshooting issues. Like where should we start looking for this
particular problem.
