Enable or Disable Job Logs

By default, the agent creates a job log for every script or binary request that runs on the system it manages. The job log contains environment and other diagnostic information that you can use to debug failed jobs. These job logs are different than the job logs the i5/OS system creates.

To enable or disable job logs, edit the following parameter in the agentparm.txt file and restart the agent:

oscomponent.joblog

Sets whether the agent creates a job log for each job that runs.

• false—Disables job logs
• true—Enables job logs

Default: true

Note: The agent stores the job logs in the spool file directory, which you will need to clear periodically depending on the volume of your workload.
