RE: IBM Job Scheduler and SOX

We've not been audited on the actual scheduling of jobs, but for monitoring
for abnormal completions.

We use the Advanced Job Scheduler for all business operations. There is a
standard report showing job history information.

I schedule a job called JOBMONITOR with this command:
DSPHSTJS STATUS(*ABNORMAL)                          
         PERIOD((*AVAIL &WEEKAGO) (*AVAIL &YESTMDY))
         SEQOPT(*JOB)                               
         OUTPUT(*PRINT)                             

The date parameters:
WEEKAGO        6      *NONE       *QMDY(D-7)
YESTMDY        6      *NONE       *QMDY(D-1)

Our job runs every Monday to review last week's abnormal jobs.

Not sure of the equivalent for the built-in scheduler.

HTH,

Subject: IBM Job Scheduler and SOX

My SOX auditors want me to prove that the jobs on the job scheduler
actually run according to their schedule.  I've never had a problem with
IBM's scheduler so I'm a bit miffed that I have to prove it works.

Is there any neat file that logs when a scheduled job runs and the state
it finishes in?

Has anyone else had to do this?  What did you do?
