Creating a filter for a JES subsystem

Define a filter for a JES subsystem.

Before you begin

Before you can create a filter for a JES subsystem, you must create a connection to the remote system. See Connecting to a z/OS system for instructions.

Procedure

  1. Expand a remote system connection name, right-click JES, and click New > New JES Job Filter.
    The New JES Job Filter wizard opens.
  2. On the first page of the New JES Job Filter wizard, type your user ID in the Job owner field.
    The default value for this field is &USERID.
  3. Optional: Modify other options on this page or accept the defaults (*).
    You can specify the following options on this page:
    • Job name prefix: Specifies the job prefix. For example, type STC* to display all jobs with the STC prefix.
    • Job status: Specifies the job status. Choose from the following options:
      • Active Displays jobs that are actively running.
      • Input Displays jobs that are waiting to run.
      • Output Displays jobs in output processing.
      • Held Displays jobs with held output.
    • Job class: Specifies the job class. Check with your system administrator to determine which job classes are available for use.
    • Job output class: Specifies the job output class.
    The only wildcard character that is supported in these fields is *. The % wildcard character is not supported.
  4. Click Next.
  5. In the Filter name field, specify a name for this filter to be displayed on the view and click Finish.
    The new filter is added to JES. Expand the filter to see the jobs that match the filter.
