RE: Moving jobs from JQ to JQ

Eric,

Don't know about anyone else, but I go into the JOBQ all the time and "jump"
jobs around a long-running report. WARNING: be sure you know what you are
asking to run against the "long running" job - you could end up with
conflicts! (WRKJOBQ, work with the QBATCHn that is "stuck", change job, F10,
change the queue to another queue. Don't know if that is the CHGJOB screen
or not - I've never looked, but I'll bet it is.)

I use this mostly for my custom (IWP) reports that run in QBATCH, but it
works (and I do it) for QBATCHs 1-6 also. For example, a TRIALBAL report
takes about 30 minutes on a good day, so during month-end, I constantly
monitor QBATCH to make sure that other IWP reports (non-IFM) continue to
run... My users also know to call me if a submitted job doesn't start
running within 5 minutes of submission - that's when I go a-lookin'.

Again, you must make sure you know what job is waiting in queue, and what is
running, and what the potential is for conflicts. Sometimes I have to tell
my end-users to be patient if their job can't be running concurrent with the
"hog."

To the list,
Is there ever a problem moving (by using CHGJOB) a MAPICS job from one job
queue to another queue?  Someone told me once that this is not a good
practice.  Any thoughts...

Eric
