Re: Jobs in system?

Well, this is interesting. There are a ton of joblogs in pending status. I would have thought that the IPL would clear them. They are all for job QSCWCHPS which is the IBM watch API processor. I think we must have run a test earlier in the day that got into an error monitor loop. Thanks for all the suggestions on identifying this issue.

Nope, it is set like this:

Job log output . . . . : *JOBEND

Rich,

What is the system value QLOGOUTPUT set to?

(I am going to guess it is sent to "*PND" ...)

Thanks Mark,

That just tells me to check job queues (done) output queues (done) and active jobs (done). I see about 30 jobs in output queues, no jobs in job queues and a few hundred jobs active. Is there another category of active jobs that I'm missing.

Even stranger, I IPLd the system and the high number persists following the IPL.

Hi, Rich,

In that WRKSYSSTS display screen, put the cursor right on top of that number of jobs (11918) and press F1=Help. It will tell you what those are all about ...

HTH,

I'm running a test partition on a system and there are only 2 or 3 users. When I run WRKSYSSTS, I sometimes see an unusually high number of jobs in the system. Right now it is showing 11918. I see no more than a few hundred jobs running in WRKACTJOB, there are a few spool files in some output queues and no jobs in any job queues. So .... where are all those jobs?
