RE: Batch Job Help

I know this sounds obvious but the same thing happened to us when we
migrated.  I believe the problem was that the assigned job queue did not
have a subsystem attached to it.  You may want to make sure all job queues
you use have subsystems attached to them.

Hi All,

 

I'm having an issue with a submitted batch job where it will stay in
batch and never seems to be processed.  A little background on the
problem:

 

We migrated to our new i5-520 this weekend.  On the old machine (720),
this job would run along with all other batch jobs.  However, this
morning when I checked the active jobs, my job was not on the list.  I
went and checked the queues and sure enough it was sitting in QBATCH
waiting to process.

 

After about an hour I checked again, and it still was in the job queue.
I cancelled the submission and went and tried to resubmit it (via option
10 in the scheduled entries).  Again, it went to the job queue and sat
there.

 

Can someone tell me if I am not doing something right?  I checked how
the job queue was created, and here's the original commands:

 

1) CRTJOBQ JOBQ(QGPL/NICALC) TEXT('Inbound Calcs')

2) ADDJOBQE SBSD(QBATCH) JOBQ(NICALC) SEQNBR(15)

 

However, now that the job is running, it just goes to the QBATCH and
sits there without being processed.  Can someone tell me if there's
something that I can do to prod this job into running?  I'm sure there's
a setting that needs to be changed on the job, but I'm not sure which
setting.  Also most, if not all, of the other jobs that run ahead of it
process and then are delayed (via a DLYJOB command) once they complete.

 

Thanks,

 

Brian.
