AS/400 HELP
"JOBQMON"
(JOBQ MONITOR)
JOBQMON
monitors a jobq to see if the number of jobs waiting to run matches or goes over the maximum (threshold)
to watch for. It then sends a break
message to the user selected to any screen he/she is signed on. A message goes to the system history log and
an e-mail or pager message can be sent.
JOBQMON sends one message per day. It resets the ‘message sent’ flag after
midnight.
JOBQMON was developed at V5r1.
