RE: IBM Job Scheduler and SOX

OK, I've looked for DSPLOGJS and DSPHSTJS on my 520 V5R3 and they aren't
there.  When I GOOGLE them they come up as V5R2 products.  Is there a
special feature code I need or did they go away in V5R3?

The "Display Log for Job Scheduler (DSPLOGJS) " command should provide
the information you require. 

You can run it using the following parameters:

Type . . . . . . . . . . . . . . TYPE           *ALL        
Time period for log output:      PERIOD

  Beginning time . . . . . . . .                *AVAIL      
  Beginning date . . . . . . . .                *CURRENT    
  End time and date:                                        
  Ending time  . . . . . . . . .                *AVAIL      
  Ending date  . . . . . . . . .                *CURRENT

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.

You can see all of the jobs submitted from the (regular) Job Scheduler
using:
DSPLOG PERIOD((*AVAIL *BEGIN)) MSGID(CPC1236)  

OUTPUT(*PRINT) will give you a report with dates and times.

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?
