Job Queue Tracking 7.5 HA 5.4.2 7.4 HA 4.10.2

PowerHA is a High Availability solution on IBM i, replicating data at the disk level in an independent auxiliary storage pool (IASP). With an emphasis on simplicity and minimal operator involvement, the management and switching of IASPs between systems require little ongoing monitoring.

Despite this ease of use, knowing the exact status of the environment at the time of failure and where to resume operations has been a hurdle for many high-availability solutions. Job queue tracking simplifies this challenge.

New features include:

• Simple user-defined tracking: Start and end tracking for specified job queues to enable automatic tracking of job lifecycle information.

• Enhanced visibility: Users can easily view the status of active or recently active jobs at the time of the failure.

• Simplified resubmission: PowerHA simplifies the resubmission of these jobs, paving the way for quicker system recovery.
