I don't know how your data center is configured, but here we regularly get "JCT not available" when we try to display anything about a job in a different JESPLEX. Apparently JES2 can't share that information across different JESPLEX's, even in the same SYSPLEX, and also not across different SYSPLEXes.

Hi folks, I'm wondering if you guys met the message 'JCT is not available!' on the up right hand side in SDSF panel before? Recently, I tried to check a job log by entering 'S' in front of the job name in SDSF. However, the SDSF prevented me from browsing the job log by issuing a similar message listed above. I checked the manuals and found this explanation: JCT NOT AVAILABLE Explanation: Either the object has no job control table (JCT) or an error occurred trying to process the JCT for the object. User Response: Delete the command or type RESET on the command line. I have two questions. 1. Under what circumstance, will the job have no job control table? I'm thinking if we start a ST with SUB=MSTR, and the *MASTER* scheduler will manage the starting of the ST. Then there may be no JCT of that ST. Could you please share with me what's your opinion? 2. Is there any way/method to get the job log back? If my previous thinking is right, could I stop the ST and start it again without SUB=MSTR? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
