Re: Monitoring to Make Sure a Job is Running

The best way I've found to do this, is to write a program to check every 
so often to see if the other job is still running.
I have a program that re-submits itself every  30 minutes or so, to a job 
queue that is not highly used. It checks to see if the other job is still 
active/running and if not, either sends a message to QSYSOPR or a pager or 
re-starts the job, depending on how important the job is.

This can also be done quite easily, with no programming using 
Help/Systems' Robot/Schedule and Robot/Console.

Thanks,

Ron Adams

We would like to make sure that some jobs are always running on our
system. We had a problem on Moday with them not running and had some
downtime because of it. Is there a way to easily make sure these jobs
are running?
