In the FWIW department -

On our 7.1 production system, all 5 jobs are active. DSPLOG of job QS9SFWMON shows it ending/starting every day before/after the backup.

On the 7.3 system in the cloud (that we will be moving to fairly soon) only the 4 jobs you show running are running. QS9SFWMON is not running. If I do a DSPLOG of job QS9SFWMON the only entry I get is:

Job 557417/QSRVAGT/QS9SFWMON ended on 01/22/18 at 10:00:07; .556 seconds used

Note that was back on 1/22. We have IPL'ed that machine at least twice since then. It appears there was no attempt to start that job on our system either.

Apparently IBM failed to read it because they requested that I send in
the joblog from the QS9SFWMON job. I told them it doesn't even try to
start it. Why not?

I'm not familiar with it, but it appears to be part of ESA. I'm
guessing you already found this doc:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1010756

I found this unofficial source for v5r4:
QS9SFWMON - This job analyzes software problems sent from QS9PRBMON
and determines if they should be reported to the service provider. If
they should be reported, it sends them to data queue QS9SND.

QS9SFWMON
What exactly is this job and how do you control it's running?

When I do the following:
GO SERVICE
8. End jobs
9. Start jobs
10. Work with jobs
I only see:
Job
QS9HDWMON
QS9PALMON
QS9PRBMON
QS9PRBSND
And I am missing the usual
QS9SFWMON
Near as I can tell it didn't even try to start it.
Job 478076/QSRVAGT/QS9PALMON submitted Job 478077/QSRVAGT/QS9PRBMON
submitted Job 478078/QSRVAGT/QS9HDWMON submitted Job
478079/QSRVAGT/QS9PRBSND submitted DSPLOG PERIOD((*AVAIL *BEGIN))
JOB(QS9SFWMON) shows nothing Google search for QS9SFWMON shows nothing
as to why this may not have started.
It's only missing on 2 of our 15 lpars. Matching release (7.3) and
PTF levels.
I'm guessing it's some configuration issue but I can't figure it out.
