Working with active jobs (WRKACTJOB)

 

To see a list of active jobs in the QSOC subsystem and monitor OptiConnect activity, use the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command. This can be helpful in determining the startup parameters that are passed to the OptiConnect connection manager.

To see the active jobs in the QSOC subsystem, enter WRKACTJOB SBS(QSOC).

If the QSOC subsystem is running, you see a SOCMGR job. If an agent job has been started, you see one or more agent jobs (SOCAnnnnnn jobs) on the target system. Figure 1 shows a sample of the Work with Active Jobs display. As you can see, the SOCMGR job is running, as well as one agent job (SOCA000001).

To determine if agent jobs are active or inactive (prestarted), enter 5 (Work with) to the left of the job name. Select the option that allows you to see the call stack or open files. Inactive agent jobs are SOCAnnnnnn jobs with no open files.

Active agent jobs are often present until one of the following situations occurs:

  • The source system job ends, or you log off.

  • The source system job ends, or you use the Reclaim Resources (RCLRSC) command.

  • The source system job ends, or you use the Reclaim DDM Conversations (RCLDDMCNV) command.
