Displaying job status information

Tip

The information described in this section applies to all MainView products except MainView FOCAL POINT.

The job status views provide access to status information and job output from the JES queues.

Use the following procedures to display:

JOBSTAT - Displays status information about jobs, TSO users, and started tasks.
JOBLSTO - Displays a list of output data sets that are associated with a job.

Note

As distributed, the job status views enable users to display information only about their own jobs. To grant users access to information about other jobs, TSO users, and started tasks, you must use the Job Status List resource definitions, as described in Managing security for MainView products.

To display the JOBSTAT view

Perform one of the following actions:

Type JOBSTAT on the COMMAND line, and press Enter.
In Plex Manager, hyperlink from the Job Output List field on the EZPLEX menu.

Following figure shows an example of the JOBSTAT view.
