<h1 class="topictitle1">Jobs</h1>
<div><p>All work done by the iSeries™ server is divided into units
called <em>jobs</em>. Learn about the types of jobs, and how to find, monitor,
and work with them on the iSeries server.</p>
<p>Jobs are how the operating system organizes, tracks, and processes work.
A job typically includes all of the information the system requires to complete
a specific task. This information might include data files, programs, and
instructions for processing and tracking the job throughout its processing.
Jobs vary greatly in their complexity, ranging from simple tasks like printing
a specified document to complex procedures like generating reports based on
information spread throughout the iSeries server. Tracking and managing
jobs on the iSeries is
an important part of normal system operation.</p>
<p>Jobs are an essential part of iSeries work management. To learn more
about how jobs are processed, including working with subsystems and job queues,
see Structure of your system. For an example of how jobs move through the iSeries server,
see A job's life.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Work with jobs</h4><p>You can work with jobs in iSeries Navigator.
<span class="uicontrol">Jobs</span> in the <span class="uicontrol">Basic Operations</span> folder
displays all the jobs associated with the current user. To display other jobs,
right-click the Jobs container, and select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Customize
this view</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Include</span></span>. The Server
Jobs - Include window allows you to limit the list of server jobs displayed
in the iSeries Navigator
window to those that meet the criteria you specify. Alternately, you can see
the jobs submitted by the iSeries server by clicking <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Work
Management</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Server jobs</span></span>, or
view the jobs currently being processed by clicking <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Work
Management</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Active jobs</span></span>. The
following display shows the jobs in the iSeries Navigator.</p>
<br /><img src="rzal2003.gif" alt="Job display in iSeries Navigator" /><br /><p>After finding the jobs you
want to work with, you can display their attributes or change their queue,
priority, messages, and other features by right-clicking the job and clicking <span class="uicontrol">Properties</span>.
Additionally, your system administrator might decide to set up
a job monitor to work with some jobs.</p>
