Hi All,

Just curious to know, if there is a way to find out, which PDS/source was a particular job submitted from? Just as, the endevor's master info option 'M' shows from which PDS was that particular element added?

Thanks in advance.
Shrinika.

You should consult your operations workgroup as to how to extract this information your job scheduling package.

I am sorry for not being clear.
I meant to ask about the test jobs in spool not the scheduled jobs!

Thanks.

The syslog will show which job/started task/user submitted the job.

From there it may be possible to track down which library it was in.

Hi,
I would know the library from C1MSGS1 or C1MSGS2 if it were an element added to endevor. Which again can also be checked from the endevor master info.

I need to track the library as you said, for the test jobs/JCLs submitted, that are in spool.

Thanks again.

Others may have more accurate knowledge than I, but I do not believe that there is anything in vanilla MVS or TSO that tracks the source of a job. Someone in your shop could modify the IKJEFF10 exit for the SUBMIT command, but this is a non-trivial task.

I doubt if that kind of a possibility exist, though I can not say for sure. What if the Job was SUBmitted through INTRDR? In general, JCL is read into JES2/3, the converter/interpreter will decipher commands, expands the procedures, resolves data set references, and will do a lot more - but will JES be looking at where the JCL came from... icon_rolleyes.gif

On the other hand, if the job sumitted through a scheduler, e.g. ESP, you can find the JCL Library where it is copied from. Similar is possible in CA-7. But if you're talking about a test Job - I doubt if you've something, as an application developer, to get that - possibly you'll know the user, not the library.

Sir John I'm sorry - did not see your message. This happens when you try to juggle a lot from your plate altogether... icon_redface.gif.

Not a problem, Anuj-san icon_smile.gif You are correct in that Sweetie-chan's shop may be using some third-party package or locally-developed tool that writes JCL to the internal reader; I hadn't thought of that.

I don't think that this information can be casually located; it would be necessary to kick back and do some planning and design to ensure it can be gotten in the test environment.
