Listing Current Jobs

When the CPU jobs are scheduled for processing, CA Workload Automation SE places them in a Request queue. In the Request queue, they wait until all of their requirements are satisfied. When all of their requirements are satisfied, they move into a Ready queue. From there, they are submitted to the computer. When they start running, they move into an Active queue. To see a list of the jobs in these three queues, enter this command on the top line of your screen:

LQ

When you press Enter, you see a screen like this example.

Note: The number of jobs on your list can vary, depending on the number of jobs that CA Workload Automation SE is processing currently at your shop. If your queues display no jobs, use this sample to see the information that the LQ command displays.

The second column identifies the queue that each job is in at the current time:

REQ

Indicates the Request queue.

RDY

Indicates the Ready queue.

ACT

Indicates the Active queue.

The ENTRY MODE column tells how the job got into the queue:

SSCN

The job was brought in automatically when CA Workload Automation SE scanned the database looking for jobs that are scheduled for processing in the next few hours.

DEMD

Someone used the DEMAND command to tell CA Workload Automation SE to run the job now.

AUTO

Another job, a network, or a data set triggered the job.

The last column gives the current status of the job. The status can tell you like the job is late, has abended, or has failed with a JCL error.

Note: For more information about the JOB STATUS field, see the Command Reference Guide.
