It might be better simply to check attributes of jobs such as LANCHECK to see if they came in through QBATCH. No need to change a system setting when you can just look at the right attributes.

Tom

That job seems suspicious. If it was submitted through QBATCH, then no other jobs are going to run until it finishes. Its name and the DLYJOB function suggest a program that periodically wakes up to do some LAN-related check. If so, it probably would be better to submit it through the QBASE *JOBQ.

If it wasn’t submitted through QBATCH, then it can probably be ignored for now.

QBASE                 .00   383492       13   ACTIVE

The system says 13 jobs are in QBASE, but WRKACTJOB SBS(QBASE QBATCH) only shows six jobs. Seven other jobs aren’t shown. They’re likely in some suspended status. Please run WRKACTJOB SBS(QBASE QBATCH) again; but this time press F14=Include. That will ensure that temporarily suspended jobs will also be shown.

Tom

If that doesn’t work, you might consider increasing the maximum jobs in the subsystem (CHGSBSD SBSD(QBASE) MAXJOBS(n+1)).

If not, would you execute WRKSBSD for the QBASE subsystem & look at the job queue entries, posting the results here?

Under WRKJOBQ, the job queue QBATCH has status RLS

Is the jobq QBATCH attached to a subsystem? When you do a WRKJOBD do you see this -
Queue Library Jobs Subsystem Status
QBATCH QGPL 0 QBATCH RLS
where the jobq is attached to a subsystem. In this case QBATCH jobq is attached to the subsystem QBATCH. If the subsystem field is blank then it is not attached and you need to probably start the QBATCH subsystem. But first I would go into the jobq qbatch and put the jobs on hold so they do not all try to run at the same time.

Under WRKJOBD I don’t see that display (not even those headings), instead this is what I see

Sounds like you need to look at what’s running in QBATCH & QBASE since it’s not clear where they are running from. WRKACTJOB SBS(QBATCH QBATCH) See if you have anything in MSGW status. If so, take an option 7 to see what the message is and have the problem corrected.

I meant WRKACTJOB SBS(QBASE QBATCH)

Tom,

Under WRKSBS this is what I get,

Technically, we don’t even know if QBASE is the controlling subsystem yet. Just because QBASE is active doesn’t make it the controlling subsystem. The system controlling subsystem is configured elsewhere.

For the most part, we don’t know anything about the state of the system nor of its configuration.

Run the WRKSBS command. Press F11=Display system data. Copy/paste the text from the resulting screen here. (Please select the text after pasting and click the {code} box above the entry area.)

That will give us a start at asking the right questions.

Tom

Executing WRKJOBQ shows various queues (QBASE, QFNC, QINTER etc), all with 0 jobs.

EXCEPT for job queue QBATCH in lib QGPL, which has 6 jobs in subsystem QBASE with status RLS. All jobs are backup jobs that are not being run. These jobs are NOT held.

Sounds like you need to look at what’s running in QBATCH & QBASE since it’s not clear where they are running from. WRKACTJOB SBS(QBATCH QBATCH) See if you have anything in MSGW status. If so, take an option 7 to see what the message is and have the problem corrected.
