You really do not need automation for this except to kick off a task that uses SDSF/REXX to issue an "I" command to see the input queues and Then select each entry to see the date/time the job was submitted. You can find sample SDSF/REXX clists in the manual which do similar things or I have some written which I can share with you.
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Friday, October 19, 2018 12:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: SDSF and z/OSEM and Automation So I want to create a process that "notices" that a job has been in the JES2 Input queue for over 24 hours and not run. Sometimes this is legitimate and sometimes not. With z/OSEM we add resource names so the users do not need to code /*ROUTE XEQ lpar to run. What I find is sometimes the resource name created in the JCL is not valid for the environment. I know I can issue $DJxxxx,LONG and find out what resource it is waiting on. What I am struggling with is how can I see the INPUT queue and determine how long a job has been waiting. I am thinking something with ISFEXEC (SDSF) that I can pass to automation to make the determination and/or cancel of the task. I am just in the design phase, so no real details other than this sketch of the process. Thanks Lizette A theory can never be proven, but it can be falsified.
