Re: Keep Your IBM i System from Crashing Like Mine Did

There is a job description SQL service

SELECT trim(job_description_library) concat '/' concat job_description as jobd_lib ,
Message_Logging_Level, Message_Logging_Severity, Message_Logging_Text, Log_Cl_Program_Commands

FROM qsys2.job_description_info
where Log_Cl_Program_Commands = '*YES'
or Message_Logging_Text = '*SECLVL'
-- etc., etc.
;

Nice.

The delete spool file thing is good.

However in my case it was the more nefarious one which is the joblogs in limbo which haven't ended or created an actual spool file. That's the *PENDING ones that get created by server jobs.

That's why you can't/shouldn't have QDFTSVR and other jobs using 4/00/*MSG or 4/00/*NOLIST. It causes the pending joblog conundrum.
