Viewing the output of an active job

When z/OS® Explorer is connected through FTP you can use the Jobs view to see all the active jobs you have on the system. If you have a z/OSMF connection you can also view the output of active jobs while they are running.

Before you begin

If you have not already done so, switch to the z/OS perspective. You must have a z/OSMF connection to your host system before you can view the output of an active job. For more information see the related links later in this topic.
