Printing a job log

 

Every i5/OS^® job has a job log that contains information related to requests entered for that job. When a user is having a problem at an application requester (AR), the information in the job log might be helpful in diagnosing the problem.

One easy way to get this information is to have the user sign off with the command:

SIGNOFF *LIST

This command prints a copy of the user's job log, or places it in an output queue for printing.

Another way to print the job log is by specifying LOG(4 00 *SECLVL) on the application job description. After the job is finished, all messages are logged to the job log for that specific job. You can print the job log by locating it on an output queue and running a print procedure.

The job log for the application server (AS) might also be helpful in diagnosing problems.
