Re: IBM Job Scheduler not submitting jobs

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

Sometimes the symptoms can be misread ... I have found sometimes that things 
are on JOBQ but they are ON HOLD ... how did they get that way ... well some 
sign-ons can get their defaults that way then those sign-ons launch things & 
forget or never realize this, or we have some mild crisis & put some tasks on 
hold & forget to unhold everything when the crisis is over.  WRKUSRJOB F4 
select *ALL users  *BATCH jobs with status *JOBQ to see what all is in all 
JOBQs right now & something about the status of each of those jobs.

If your security is appropriate, you can 5 work with DSPJOB on those JOBQ 
jobs then I think it is option 1 or 2 from main menu which will tell you when 
the job was placed in the system (on the jobq) as opposed to started running 
(off the JOBQ).

You might GO CMDSCDE & WRK with them *ALL to see if the scenario is with 
respect to a particular job that someone has placed on hold & also what the 
record shows there for the last time anything was submitted & when is the 
next time it is scheduled to run.

You might check what JOBQ the jobs are supposed to run in when the Job 
Scheduler submits them.  This is something that can get changed.  For 
example, if it launches on schedule, it can use different rules than if 
someone I think it is 10 launch right now using user defaults instead.

We have some tasks on Job Scheduler which would not be harmful to 10 launch 
right now, such as some reports & message generators - you might do so with 
something like that to verify that the Job Scheduler appears to be functional.

You might WRKJOBQ & notice what sub systems each JOBQ is in & put cursor on 
sub system column & F1 to be reminded that JOBQ has to be assigned to a Sub 
System for jobs in that Q to run.

You might GO CMDSBSD & take the option to display subsystem you think this 
should be running in, then take option 6 to review settings for JOBQ that are 
in that SBS.

Where I work we just have the plain vanilla IBM Job Scheduler, not the 
advanced one or Help Systems Robot Scheduler - you might want to verify we 
talking about the same animal.
