Re: Upgraded to V5R4 and joblogs for normal completed jobs are now being produced

What did the upgrade change to cause user when they sign off at

previous release (V5R3) did not? Is there a system setting or
user profile setting or jobd setting?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How the user signs off from an interactive session is what determines whether a joblog is produced. So neither a *JOBD nor an attribute of the *USRPRF apply, and the effective system setting is the LOG() parameter of QSYS/SIGNOFF; i.e. there is no LOG(*JOBD), LOG(*USRPRF), nor LOG(*SYSVAL) available on the QSYS/SIGNOFF command used to sign off from the interactive session. The default behavior was unchanged from prior releases; i.e. was, and remains, LOG(*NOLIST)

Review one of the joblogs and determine the last command issued. If the last command was an unqualified SIGNOFF with no parameter specifications, then investigate the LOG() parameter default on all of the SIGNOFF commands; e.g. see result of ?ALTQSYS/SIGNOFF. If the last request was a custom command such as unqualified LOGOFF, then investigate each command definition by that name using DSPCMD & review of parameter [defaults] by prompting; determine if any of its parameter defaults or the CPP [command processing program] might be effecting LOG(*YES) on its qualified invocation of QSYS/SIGNOFF.
