<h1 class="topictitle1">What's new for V5R4</h1>
<div><p>This release brings some exciting changes not only to the work
management functions, but also to the Work management topic in the Information
Center.</p>
<div class="p"><dl><dt class="dlterm">You now have more control over producing job logs.</dt>
<dd><p>The job log pending state has been available for many years. When a
job log is in a job log pending state, no job log is produced. With the release
of V5R4 the iSeries™ Navigator
Job Properties - Job Log window has been enhanced so that you can now control
how and under what circumstances the job log for a specific job will be produced.</p>
<p>If
you prefer the character-based interface, the Work with Job Logs (<span class="cmdname">WRKJOBLOG</span>)
command is a new command that you can use to manage job logs. When this
command is run, the Work with Job Logs screen is displayed. From this screen
you can display job logs, delete job logs, work with spooled files, and work
with the job that is associated with the job log.</p>
<p>In the job description,
the new attribute <span class="parmname">LOGOUTPUT</span> specifies whether the job
log is produced by the job log server, by the job itself, or not produced
at all. If the job description specifies *SYSVAL for the <span class="parmname">LOGOUTPUT</span> value,
then the new Job log output (QLOGOUTPUT) system value is used to control how
a job log is produced. </p>
</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Additional information for call stacks is now available.</dt>
<dd><p>As of V5R4, the call stack has changed on both the iSeries Navigator
and the character-based interface to add support for i5/OS PASE, Java™, and
LIC applications. Many existing fields have been renamed, reorganized, or
overloaded to display a greater variety of data.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">The Change Job (CHGJOB) and End Job (ENDJOB) commands can now operate
on any current or completed jobs.</dt>
<dd><p>In earlier releases, the commands did not work for special jobs such
as system jobs, subsystem monitor jobs, spool readers, and spool writers.
This change unifies the way the system handles output (spooled) files.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">The Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) screen has been enhanced.</dt>
<dd><p>You can now view the <strong>Current user profile</strong> on the Work with Active
Jobs screen. This attribute is already available in the Active Jobs list of
iSeries Navigator.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Several enhancements have been made to the Advanced Job Scheduler. </dt>
<dd><ul><li>The Work Flow Manager is a new tool that lets you define units of work
that can consist of a combination of automated and manual steps. The units
of work can then be scheduled or started manually. </li>
<li>You can add multiple commands to a scheduled task. </li>
<li>You have more control over the notification banner. </li>
<li>You can use Advanced Job Scheduler to send an e-mail. </li>
<li>You can distribute reports via the Basic Operations container. </li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">The entire Work management topic has been reorganized and updated for
the IBM<sup>®</sup> iSeries Information
Center Version 5 Release 4 (V5R4).</dt>
<dd> <p>The new Work management topic replaces the V4R5 work management manual
that was available in the IBM iSeries Information Center Version 5 Release 3 (V5R3).
This manual provided information about how to effectively manage the system
workload by changing work management objects to meet your needs. It also provided
guidelines for performance tuning, description of system values, information
about collecting performance data, gathering system use data, using work entries,
and scheduling batch jobs.</p>
