Tip: The job queue does not need to exist at the time of registering the job queue for tracking. However, the job queue will only be tracked if the job queue exists in a library within the specified ASP device. Job queue tracking does not track job queues in the system ASP (SYSBASE) |
The display will now look similar to the figure 3 below. If the IASP is not currently available, the tracked jobs will display as *UNKNOWN:

Reminder: The previous example started tracking for a job queue on node PROD. In many environments it is recommended to track the same job queue on other nodes such as HA and DR in the environment so that regardless of which node is currently the production, job queues are tracked as expected. |

Shortcut: It is also possible to start Job Queue tracking using the Start Tracking Job Queue (STRTRKJOBQ) command. This command takes an ASP device, job queue, and optionally a retention period and cluster node. Using the following command would achieve the same result as the above example: |

Reminder: The previous example ended tracking for a job queue on node PROD. In many environments the same job queue may be tracked on multiple nodes, so this process may need to be repeated by selecting the appropriate node on the WRKASPJOBQ display. |
