i5/OS Jobs

The i5/OS job lets you run a program or issue a command on an i5/OS system. You can run i5/OS jobs in the following file systems:

Root file system
Open systems file system (QOpenSys)
Library file system (QSYS)

Note: To run these jobs, your system requires CA WA Agent for i5/OS.

You can specify the following details in an i5/OS job definition:

Library name, library list, and current library for running a program
The i5/OS job name, options under which the job will run, where it will run, and which user will run it
Ending exit value of the program, such as a severity code

You can define parameter values that you want to pass to a program at the time the program is invoked.

Note: Default values may be set for certain parameters, such as the i5/OS user ID that the jobs run under. Contact your agent administrator about the parameters set in the agentparm.txt file.
