Determine the status of a job

Monitoring your jobs will help you understand what your jobs are doing. The job status is an important piece of information that you can use to find out what a job is doing.

To check the status of an active job or server job, do the following:
  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand My Connections > server > Work Management > Active Jobs or Server Jobs.
    Note: You can see a job status from anyplace within the Work Management folder that you access jobs.
  2. Look at the Detailed Status column to determine the status of a job (for example, Waiting for event, Waiting for time interval, or Waiting for dequeue).
Tip: If you do not see the Detailed Status column, you can add it to the display by right-clicking on Active Jobs (or Server Jobs) and selecting Customize this view > Columns.
