Retrieving jobs without filters

Use the Retrieve Job action to add jobs to the JES subsystem without defining a filter.

Procedure

  1. In the Remote Systems view, select JES and then select Retrieve Job from the pop-up menu or press Ctrl+J. You can also open this window by selecting any of the following Remote System view resources and pressing Ctrl+J: any JES filter, a JES job, or a JES job data set. The Retrieve Job window opens. The text entry field on this window can be prefilled two ways:
    • If you have performed previous searches, the last search pattern used is shown in the text entry field.
    • If you have submitted a job by using the Submit menu item from the Remote Systems or z/OS Projects view or by using the submit line command from the from System z® LPEX Editor, the job ID of the last job submitted is shown in the text entry field.
  2. Type a job name pattern to search for and press Enter. Matching jobs are listed in the window. The jobs are sorted by job name and then by job ID so that the most recent jobs are at the top of the list. The window also displays the number of matches.
  3. Optional: You can type a new search pattern to update the list of matches. If you type an invalid job name pattern, for example, or if you receive a large number of matches, you can change the search pattern to retry the search or narrow down the list of matches.
  4. Optional: To save the search pattern as a new filter, click Add these matches to a new filter.
  5. Optional: To open the job output for a job on the list, select the job name and click Open.
  6. Select the job you want and click OK. The job selected is added to the Retrieved Jobs filter in the JES subsystem and highlighted in the view. This filter saves the last five retrieved jobs. If you selected Add these matches to a new filter, all matching jobs are added to the new filter and the selected job is highlighted there.
    Note: The Retrieved Jobs filter is a system controlled filter. Its unique status is indicated visually by a unique icon: a filter icon superimposed with a pushpin. The only way to populate this filter is by using the Retrieve Job window. You cannot maintain this filter, change its contents, rename it, or delete it. To add search results to a filter that you can maintain, use the Add these matches to a new filter option.
