Re: Jobs in 'job log pending' status

Find the jobs that are in *JOBLOG PENDING status. Then do a change job and
change the LOGOUTPUT attribute to *JOBEND or *JOBLOGSVR. You can use
the WRKJOBLOG command to help find the jobs. Using the defaults on
the WRKJOBLOG command will not bring up all the pending joblog jobs. Change the
settings to the following to find all the pending joblog jobs:

WRKJOBLOG PERIOD((*AVAIL *BEGIN) (*AVAIL *END))

To help manage in the future, there are some things that you can do. Changing
the system value is a good start. There are some job descriptions shipped by IBM
that are shipped as *PND. Therefore, you do not get them all. You can modify the
OA Cleanup options to clean up pending job logs after 'X' amount of days. You
could also use the Remove Pending Job Log (QWTRMVJL) API to clean up pending job
logs.

Warmest Regards,

Richard Reeve

Subject: Jobs in 'job log pending' status

I have several jobs in limbo. The status is 'job log pending'. They
have no call stack and I can't cancel them.

This is the net server job and it is causing problems starting the server.

If I try to change the job I get an error saying the job is on the
output queue. I can look at the job log but all it shows is two dots.

What does this mean?

Thanks,

Albert
