Tabs A separate tab is provided for each unique output spool file that exists for the deployment job. z/OSMF uses the DDNAME of the spool file as the tab name. The tabs provided for a job depend on the content specified for the job. Some tabs that are common for all jobs include JESMSGLG, JESJCL, and JESYSMSG.

To view the contents of a spool file, click the appropriate tab. If all the output is not shown, click the get remaining output link, which is displayed above the Output field. If all the content is currently being displayed, this link is hidden from view.

If the job is still running, click Refresh to obtain the latest spool output.
