Re: Slow QSYS2.OUTPUT_QUEUE_ENTRIES?

thanks Rob. I've been searching and found Simon Hutchinson's article about
how performance is bad on outpute_queue_entries. I was going to change it
to use the API's but then I saw that the user had 300K spool files! I
cleared those out and performance is acceptable now.,

I installed latest cume and TR6 on another machine last night and if all
goes well I will install on production this weekend.

However I prefer details. If you've ever had someone said "I just put on
the cume" only to find out it's one they had on the shelf for 2 years you'd
understand. Do a WRKPTFGRP and find the level for SF99703. What is it?

V7R3. PTF's about 6 months ago.

I am running this Select statement on a job that could have up to 1000
spool files. Once I read the spool file and copy to a flat file I delete
it. I've been googling trying to figure out why we don't have
QSYS2.OUTPUT_QUEUE_ENTRIES_BASIC. That might help me.

SELECT SPOOLED_FILE_NAME, USER_NAME, FILE_NUMBER FROM
TABLE(QSYS2.OUTPUT_QUEUE_ENTRIES('*LIBL',:wkPrinter ,'*NO'
where job_name = :qJobName;

The job is running slow, and I see that the SQL statement is slow. Open
files shows number of reads over 140K?

If I run it interactively I see this in the status line

Query running. 0 records selected, 106310 processed.

Is this normal?
