RE: Advanced Job Scheduler Job Names -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi Dennis

Thanks for that. It was all a misunderstanding from the guy who set up
the scheduled jobs.

Basically the scheduler does have job names specified, they're mandatory
when adding the entry, but all the jobs that were active for the
scheduler user had the name QDFTJOBD so it looked like the scheduler had
"changed" the job name.

In fact it hadn't, the programs being submitted were doing a SBMJOB of
their own without specifying a job name, so the QDFTJOBD jobs were
children of the scheduled job.

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks again.

Hello, Jonathon:

The ADDJOBJS command is documented here:

When you add a job to the advanced job scheduler (ADDJOBJS, which is
also prompted when you press F6 from WRKJOBJS), you have an
opportunity to give the job a name. If you don't give the job a name,
the system will use the name from the job description, which you can
command.

also specify separately on that The job description that will be used,
specified in the user profile of the submitter.

created or via CHGUSRPRF, is QDFTJOBD.

as these jobs are concerned. That's not a terrible thing necessarily
you're defaulting your way through work management as far (though at a
minimum I would recommend specifying the name on the ADDJS command).
associated with each job to which you have the necessary authority.

WRKJOBJS gives you the opportunity (option 2) to change the name "A

known, We have some jobs defined within the Advanced Job Scheduler
however when we run the WRKUSRJOB for the user that the jobs are
(WRKJOBJS), scheduled under they all have a job name of QDFTJOBD.
I'm fairly sure that in the past the original job scheduler
defined name.

Is there something I'm missing?
