Determining which subsystem has a job queue allocated

You can determine which subsystem has allocated the job queue using the IBM® Navigator for i interface or the character-based interface. This is useful when you find it necessary to delete the job queue since you cannot delete a job queue to which a subsystem is active.

IBM Navigator for i

To see which subsystem has allocated the job queue, follow the following instructions:

From IBM Navigator for i, expand Work Management > All Tasks > Job Queues > All Job Queues.
Locate the job queue in the right pane of the IBM Navigator for i interface.
The subsystem which has allocated the job queue is displayed in the Subsystem column.
(If you do not see the Subsystem column, add it to the display. Click Actions > Columns.)
Or you can right-click the job queue and click Properties. The subsystem is listed on the General page of the Job Queue Properties window.

Character-based interface

Command: WRKJOBQ JOBQ(LIBA/JOBQA) where JOBQA is the name of the job queue

Type in the command WRKJOBQ JOBQ(LIBA/JOBQA).
The Work with Job Queue display appears. The subsystem description function key appears in the function key area of the display when the job queue is allocated to a system.
Press the subsystem description function key.
The Work with Subsystem Descriptions display appears showing the subsystem to which the job queue is allocated.
