Examining the job information
Use the QUERY JOB command to display information about one or more jobs. The information can include job IDs and statuses. You can query jobs after starting a copy data, tiering, or replication storage rule. Additionally, you can query retention set jobs, including jobs for copying a retention set to tape storage. You can filter the list of jobs by specifying a job ID or other job attributes that are displayed in the command output information.
A log is generated after every job run. The log displays the information such as the status of the job, the start and end time for the job, and a message that is associated with the job. You can also use the QUERY ACTLOG JOB=n command option to see the messages related to the job. This provides additional information about the symptoms for the problem or might provide information about the actual cause of the problem that the job encountered.
For more information about command options, see QUERY JOB (Query a job).
