Reconfigure the job log server

As shipped, the job log server runs in QSYSWRK. QSYSWRK is continuously active. To enhance performance, you might want to reconfigure your job log server to run in a different subsystem.

To reconfigure the job log server to run in a different subsystem, use the character-based interface and follow these steps.
  1. Add a routing entry identical to the one from QSYSWRK to your subsystem description. This is the routing entry Seq Nbr 500, Program QWCJLSVR, Library QSYS, Compare Value 'QJOBLOGSVR', Start Pos 1.
  2. Change the job queue specified in the QJOBLOGSVR job description to a job queue that is present on your subsystem.
  3. Add the QJOBLOGAJ autostart job entry (along with a routing entry, if needed) to your subsystem. This will cause the job log server to automatically start when your subsystem starts.
    • Or if you prefer, you can replace the autostart job entry with a call to the STRLOGSVR command in the startup program.
  4. Remove the QJOBLOGAJ autostart job entry from QSYSWRK.
As another example of reconfiguring the job log server, you can use the Change Class (CHGCLS) command to change the Run priority (RUNPTY) specified in the QJOBLOGSVR class (in library QSYS).
CHGCLS CLS(QSYS/QJOBLOGSVR) RUNPTY(50)
