Viewing submitted jobs

You can either obtain or purge the output of jobs listed in the Remote Systems view or the Remote System Details view by selecting the Job ID or job step, and invoking actions from the pop-up menu. When you obtain the output of a job or step, you will see details from the actual JES Log message.

Before you begin

First make sure that you are connected to the remote system.

Procedure

  1. Open the Remote Systems view or the Remote System Details view.
  2. Expand the entries under the JES subsystem to locate the job you submitted or use the Retrieve Job menu item to find the job ID.
    Tip: For quick access to your job in the Remote Systems view, you can click the Locate Job button on the job submission confirmation window. This action highlights the job ID in the Retrieved Jobs filter of the JES subsystem.
  3. Look at the job status to see if the job is still running.
  4. Refresh the user interface to recheck your job status. When the job is completed, the job status is updated to reflect that.
  5. Choose the output you want to display:
    • If you want to obtain the output of the whole job, right-click the job, and click Open.
    • If you want to obtain the output of a particular step, click the plus sign (+) beside a given job ID, then select a step. Right-click and select Open.
    The output is displayed in the System z® LPEX editor. You can use System z LPEX commands and functions, such as viewing contents in hexadecimal mode, on the job output. See the related topics for more information about the System z LPEX editor.
