Re: QS9SFWMON job missing.

RUNQRY QRYFILE((QSRVAGT/QAS9AUDLOG *FIRST)) OUTTYPE(*PRINTER)
FORMSIZE(*RUNOPT 378)

There are records in that file from over a decade ago.

Last occurance in QS9AUDLOG was early last month
18/01/08 14:56:05 QS9SFWMON job starting.
...
18/01/09 07:43:43 QS9SFWMON job ending.

From our most recent stop/start
18/02/20 07:11:39 QS9PALMON job ending.
18/02/20 07:11:39 QS9PRBMON job ending.
18/02/20 07:11:39 QS9HDWMON job ending.
18/02/20 07:11:40 QS9PRBSND job ending.
18/02/20 07:11:44 QS9PALMON job starting.
18/02/20 07:11:44 QS9PRBMON job starting.
18/02/20 07:11:44 QS9HDWMON job starting.
18/02/20 07:11:44 QS9PALMON: ready for cycle
18/02/20 07:11:44 QS9PRBSND job starting.
18/02/20 07:11:45 Log File QSRVAGT/QAS9AUDLOG Pruned

It started just one last time since we IPLed that sandbox on 2018-01-08.
If it was a PTF issue I would find it odd that it would start one last
time.

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:

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.
