Monitoring Jobs

After a Job has started, its Job monitor is available in the Process Monitoring perspective. The Job monitor contains three pages with information about the parameters with which the Job was executed:

  • The Agent-specific page (read only)

  • The Attributes page (read-only)

  • The JCL page

    When you open the Job monitor, the JCL page is in read-only mode. Click the Modify button to make it editable. However, editing this page is possible only if the following is true:

    • Your user definition contains the necessary rights
    • The job has a status between 1566 and 1799
