The "Job Notify" exit point is really simple to work with.

I use it to intercept recurring manually submitted jobs (on a held jobq) and schedule them per our calendar (ie. Job "MONDAY" always gets scheduled to run on Tuesday at 1:00am, etc).

Question: Any alternative suggestions for collecting this data from a
central location?

Configure the "job notify" exit point to put your data into a data
queue. Have a background program (never-ending process) that reads the
data queue entries, and puts relevant details into a PF (database
table.) This could be queried from anywhere.

Something like a recurring QHST poll, not a point in time build. I am
not a developer, but for those that are do you have any suggestions
or knowledge of a JT400 class that can access history log data from a
remote source (not an iSeries of course)?

I would attempt to remove QHST from the picture, and use the exit
program. If you need to access this remotely, you could use the JDBC
driver in JT400 to query the table.

One of the goals was to do this without serious programming or
employment of a 3rd party product.

I guess "serious programming" is in the eye of the beholder.
Personally, this seems pretty trivial to me. I guess if you don't have
any programmers on staff, you're going to have to hire a consultant, or
take another approach...
