Job log characteristics
The iSeries™ Navigator
provides you with a user friendly, easy to read interface from which you can
view job logs and the job log's messages. You can also view job logs by using
the character based interface.
You can control which columns appear in the job log list by using the Job
Log - Columns window. () The columns
that you can choose to display in the job log list are:
| Message ID |
From Program |
| Message |
Request Level |
| Sent |
Severity |
| Thread |
To Program |
| Type |
|
Character-based interface
When you use the Display
Job Log (DSPJOBLOG) command, you see the Job Log display. This display shows
program names with special symbols, as follows:
| >> |
The running command or the next command to
be run. For example, if a CL or high-level language program was called, the
call to the program is shown. |
| > |
The command has completed processing. |
| . . |
The command has not yet been processed. |
| ? |
Reply message. This symbol marks both those messages
needing a reply and those that have been answered. |
- Job log headings
Job log headings are located at the top of each page of the printed job log. These headings identify the job to which the job log applies and the characteristics of each entry. The following is a list of possible entries in the job log heading.
- Messages
Messages contain the job name, the message type, the date and time
it was sent, the action that occurred, and the necessary actions needed to
fix a problem. This is useful when you are trying to troubleshoot any problems
that might occur on your servers. You can access job logs for server jobs
through iSeries Navigator.
Messages fall into two categories, alertable messages and messages logged
in a job log.
