Keeping Job Log Information

You can also review scheduled jobs through the job log display. The i5/OS job scheduler has a function that allows you to work with the last submission details of scheduled jobs, which allows you to display the job log. The job log may contain useful information regarding BRMS scheduled jobs.

When submitting jobs using the job scheduler, use the default job description for the user profile (*USRPRF). In most cases, the job scheduler deletes the job log after the job has ended. This prevents you from viewing the job log for scheduled jobs that use the Work with last submission option.

If you desire or require the job log information for scheduled jobs, specify a job description that contains LOG(4 00 *SECLVL). To specify this new job description, press F10 (Additional parameters) on the Add Job Schedule Entry (ADDJOBSCDE) display and type the job description at the JOBD keyword.

For scheduled jobs you plan to submit once (FRQ=*ONCE), you should also use the SAVE(*YES) keyword. This will ensure that submission details are available if you need to check at a later stage.

If you are using Job Scheduler for i5/OS, change the job description to LOG(4 00 *SECLVL).
