Job is not shown in Spool after execution

Hi,

I had submitted a Job and the job executed successfully. When I went to spool and checked for the job ID i could not find the job.
Can anyone tell me the reason why the job is not shown in spool?

Regards,
Shanmukh.

Maybe your MSGCLASS is defined incorrectly?

Hi,

check your SYSLOG and see what happened to your job.

Question 1: how do you know the job executed successfully if you cannot see it on the spool?

Question 2: are you aware that a syntax error on the JOB card will cause the job to flush without attempting to execute -- one possible reason for it not to show up on the spool?

Question 3: do you know which MSGCLASS to specify? Different sites have different standards and some sites use a message class to indicate you don't want the output, so it is deleted immediately - a second possible reason for it not to show up on the spool.

Question 4: have you talked to your site support group, team leader, or coworkers to determine if there are site requirements for job names that you may not have followed -- a third possible reason for it not to show up on the spool?

That should get you started -- there are other possible reasons a job would not show up on the spool, of course.
