Specifying the output queue for a job log

 

By default the printer file that is used to spool a job log is QPJOBLOG. You can have multiple QPJOBLOG printer files on your system. In QSYS the output queue that the OUTQ attribute uses is QEZJOBLOG, in library QUSRSYS. When the system creates a job log, it looks for the printer file QPJOBLOG in the job's library list. The first one that is found is the one that it uses. You use the character-based interface to adjust these settings.

1. Change the printer file QPJOBLOG OUTQ attribute to *JOB.

   1. Command: Change Printer File CHGPRTF FILE(QPJOBLOG) OUTQ(*JOB)

2. Change the job's OUTQ attribute to the output queue that you want. You can do this by using the character-based interface or iSeries™ Navigator.

   1. Command: Change Job CHGJOB OUTQ(MYLIB/MYOUTQ)

   2. iSeries Navigator: Work Management > Active Jobs > Right-click a job and select Properties > Printer Tab
