Here is what we document in the Work Management topic in the IBM i
Information Center...
We document all of the IBM-supplied server jobs - what the server is, the
job name, subsystem, job description, how to start/end the server, etc -

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.

Where can I find a good resource that describes what each Subsystem/Job
that is reflected from ther output of this command?
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.
TIA,
