Not really my area of expertise, but the other day I came across a Red Paper
4454 "Best Practices for Managing IBM I Jobs and Output" which I found
informative and you may get a few tips from.

subject: *SSHD Job generating joblogs every second
I have an open ticket with IBM but at this stage they are suggesting a
test PTF for the issue which is going to take days.
The other morning I had a call from a site we look after where users could
not sign on.
Below is the initial steps taken and details of two joblogs showing
errors. Stopping *SSHD stops the issue.
The system generated over 160000 jobs which had joblogs *pending and
exceeded the maximum jobs.
Anybody seen anything like this or have any comments/suggestions ?
System would not allow any new jobs as system tables were full.
Have increased MAXJOBS to allow new jobs to be started.
DSPJOBTBL F11 shows large numbers of joblog pending
WRKJOBLOG shows very large number of job(QP0ZSPWP) being created for user
QECOFR approximately every 1 second.
Many of these are relating to CPFA09C Not authorized to object. Object is
/QSYS.LIB/EN_US.LOCALE.
Also following messages;

Steve,
Another option would be a full restore from one of your IBM I partitions.
This would also test your recovery at the same time.

Subject: Quickest, easiest way to load OS on new partition
We have an HMC-managed Power 8 with several IBM i partitions along with
other AIX and Linux partitions. What is the quickest, easiest way to load
the OS on a newly created partition?
We don't have physical media but we do have the full V7R3 OS in an IFS
directory on one of the existing partitions. These are the images that were
used when we upgraded the other partitions to V7R3 (probably V7R3 TR3 so we
would have to get the latest TR and PTFs after we get the new partition
functional).
The partition has not yet been created (if that's a factor in your
recommendation). This is not i-hosting-i - this will be a separate
partition with its own resources.
Thanks,
Steve McKay
