RE: WRKSBMJOB, WRKUSRJOB slug-like

I'll bet that if you reduce the number of jobs in the system (delete 10,000
or so of those old job logs), the commands will run faster.

To keep them cleaned up, GO CLEANUP and configure a short retention period
for job logs.  You can also change key job descriptions (like QDFTJOBD) to
LOG(4 0 *NOLIST) if you do not require a job log for jobs that end normally.

Subject: WRKSBMJOB, WRKUSRJOB slug-like


Good grief!  WRKSBMJOB & WRKUSRJOB are absolutely slug-like on this V3R2
system.  It can take up to 30 seconds to get a response, everything else
(i.e., WRKSPLF, WRKACTJOB) is at or near sub-second response.  This on a
system where the CPU usage is 8.2% for a two minute interval (right now).
Is
this a V3R2 issue?

I recall getting 2- or 3-second response with WRKSBMJOB even on some RISC
boxes, and had resorted to using WRKUSRJOB JOBTYPE(*BATCH) to get the
subsecond response.  Either way, on this V3R2 box, it's a painful wait for
someone who's used to getting it FAST.

Anything I can do to improve on this?  Cleanup of some sort?
