Searching all job queues for a specific job

You can use either the IBM® Navigator for i or the character-based interface to search job queues for a specific job.

IBM Navigator for i

Expand Basic Operations > User Jobs > Actions > Include.
Use the Jobs-Include window to narrow down the number of jobs that are displayed. Make sure that the Job queue field is set to All.
When you click OK all of the jobs that meet your criteria are displayed.

Character-based interface

Command: Work with Job Queues ( WRKJOBQ)

Example: The following example creates a list of all jobs on the JOBQA job queue.

WRKJOBQ JOBQ(LIBA/JOBQA)

Find a job when you do not know the name of the job queue

If you do not know the name of the job queue, follow the following instructions:

Enter the command without the JOBQ parameter.
The Work with All Job Queues window appears with a list of all job queues to which you are authorized.
Scan this list until you see the name of a job queue that may contain the job that you are trying to find.

After you have found a job in a job queue, you can look at that job by entering the work with option for the job that you want to see. The Work with Job display appears. This display provides several options for viewing all of the information available for the job that you selected.

If you know what job you are looking for, the following command can take you directly to the job display.

WRKJOB JOB(number/user/name) OPTION(*DFNA)

If you're not sure what job you're looking for, Work with Submitted Jobs (WRKSBMJOB) or Work with User Jobs (WRKUSRJOB) can help.
