Re: Can jobs scheduled in a jobq be saved/restored/migrated to a new system -- MIDRANGE-L

What are you thinking?!? OK, Just kidding. Minor distinction required here and that will clear it up for you.

*IF* you had a system that was running i 7.2 and you are installing the upgrade to i 7.3 using a manual install or for that matter, re-staling i 7.2 on top of itself due to damage, THEN you are challenged to do this clear or leave. In this case there could be jobs on the queue.

During an install to empty disks you also get this challenge but there is nothing to clear so the two options are equivalent in this case.

Make sense?

5. Type your choice for the Clear Job and Output Queues prompt based on the
following options:
1 = Clear
If you do not want to keep any spooled files or entries on job queues after
the installation or
if you know they are damaged, select this option. The system removes all
jobs on job queues
and spooled files. It re-creates any internal objects associated with them.
You should select
this option if you are performing an abbreviated installation of the
operating system. This
option also resets the counter for assigning unique job numbers.

2 = Keep
Any entries on job queues and output queues remain after the installation.
This is the
normal option for this prompt.

No.

A job is unique to a system.

Seems like there was a TAA Tool that would pull the attributes and write
them to a file allowing them to be resubmitted on the new system.

The rule used to be NO data in queues could be saved or restored. Later with
V5R4 we got outq data saved but jobs on jobqs are a no.
