The z/OS Jobs view

When you are connected to a z/OS® system the z/OS Jobs view shows all the output data sets for a specified job. The job name can be entered in the Job ID field or the Link to Selection button can be selected so that any job that is selected in the Jobs view is automatically displayed in the z/OS Job view. When you select an output data set in the z/OS view, the content of the data set is displayed in the view.

If JESINTERFACELEVEL is set to 1, the job output cannot be retrieved and shown in the z/OS Jobs view.

You can view jobs when you are connected through FTP or z/OSMF. If the job status is ACTIVE, you must be using a z/OSMF connection to view its output or ddnames. See the related link later in this topic for more information about configuring system connections.

To show the output data sets for a job, enter the job ID in the Job ID field. Alternatively, select the Link to Selection button , then select a job in the Jobs view. When the Link to Selection button is selected, clicking a job in the Jobs view shows the output data sets for that job in the z/OS Job view. If you submit a job while the Link to Selection button is selected the job output is shown in the z/OS Job view.

You can refresh the contents of the z/OS Jobs view by pressing F5. If the job is still active, the view is updated. If the job is not active, a message is displayed indicating that the job has completed.

When the content is displayed, the pane scrolls to the last record in the data set.

When you select a data set, if the contents reference a data set name, you can hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard and hover over the text. The text changes to a hyperlink. Clicking the hyperlink opens the data set in an editor where you can browse or change the content.
