Learn how jobs are named on the iSeries™
The job name that is used on the iSeries consists of three parts:
- The simple job name
- The user ID
- The job number (ascending order)
The server jobs follow several conventions:
- Job name
- For nonprestarted jobs, the server job name is the name of the server
program.
- Prestarted jobs use the name that is defined in the prestart job entry.
- Jobs that are started by the servers use the job description name or a
given name if they are batch jobs (the file server does this).
- The user ID
- Is always QUSER, regardless of whether prestart jobs are used.
- The job log shows which users have used the job.
- Work management creates the job number.
