Determining which subsystem has a job queue allocated

 

You can determine which subsystem has allocated the job queue using the iSeries™ Navigator interface or the character-based interface. This is useful when you find it necessary to delete the job queue since you cannot delete a job queue to which a subsystem is active.

iSeries Navigator

To see which subsystem has allocated the job queue, follow the following instructions:

1. In iSeries Navigator expand Work Management > Job Queues > All Job Queues.

2. Locate the job queue in the right pane of iSeries Navigator. You will see the subsystem which has allocated the job queue in the Subsystem column.

   (If you do not see the Subsystem column, add it to the display. Right-click All Job Queues > Customize this view > Columns.)

3. Or you can right-click the job queue and click Properties. The subsystem is listed on the General page of the Job Queue Properties window.
