Re: Retrieve Submitted library list of a job in Jobq (CRPence)

Thank You Chuck !!! All good and valid points. The purpose of this exercise is to replicate jobs in jobq that are not yet become active onto the HA system and aslo use this during DR situation. I have sucessfully been able to code for this process except to get the INLLIBL of job which was submitted with a specific set of libraries and not using a JOBD.

Reddy,

I can get all kinds of information using the API QUSRJOBI. But the
library list information is only available only when the job becomes
active using JOBI0700 and JOBI0750.

Note: I can get the JOBD and JOBD library that the job was submitted
with but not the library list when the job is submitted with a set of
libraries in INLLIBL and no JOBD was used.

Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated

Not sure of the relevance to RPG versus CL, C, or ??? Anyhow...

While the "job message queue" is created upon success of the SBMJOB
request, various other job structures may not exist or may be incomplete
until the job becomes active. While the job structures do not exist or
are incomplete, they remain in the domain of the system Work Management
internals, and thus remain unexposed to the typical "hardened" interface
like the Retrieve Job API [and even unexposed to the other OS components
outside of the WM].

Even if [a portion of or] the job structure that will contain the
complete library actually exists while the job is only on a job queue,
then the list itself is known still _to be incomplete_ at least for the
SYSLIBLE() of the subsystem; unknown until the job has become active in
whichever subsystem eventually gets the job. Other special value
resolutions [for other LIBL-related parameters on SBMJOB] also may not
be completed until job-start, although I am not sure which. A quick
peek shows that the help text for SYSLIBL for instance, says that the
*SYSVAL is resolved from the QSYSLIBL at "the time that the job is
started", whereas the INLLIBL taken from a specified *JOBD is
established\resolved and verified at the time of the SBMJOB request as
verified in a test. Thus, like when the job is active and able to
change the library list, what of the library list can be inferred
already to be established may in fact be just as ephemeral even from
SBMJOB until becoming active.

Maybe a better question then, is, for what purpose could the
transient details of the yet-to-be-established Library List provide
actual value [to a retriever of inactive job details]?

Short of any effects from design-change-request asking for some way
to obtain more details about the in-flux details of the library list,
finding what has already been established for the job would probably be
required; i.e. track down what of partially complete details of the LIBL
exist in the internal job structures, however even DMPJOB [which would
also requires access to the job structures] is also limited to an active
job.
