RE: Which Workstation is using File Maintenance?

Try Cross Application Support / Inquiry / Job Status.

It will tell you user and program that is running.

The file it reads is JOBACT in the AMFLIB* library.  Very easy to create a
display in windows showing who is doing what at any given time.

Subject: Which Workstation is using File Maintenance?

Environment: Mapics DB (Mod 4)

Hi group:

Sometimes when one is trying to run a Mapics job, you get an error message
that says the job will not run because an Item Master File is open for File
Maintenance.

If your shop has lots of workstations, is there a way to tell which
workstation is using File Maintenance thru the WRKACTJOB command?

If not, what other way might there be to obtain this information?

I look forward to your comments.
