Set the Update Interval

The range for wait-time interval is 1 to 9999 seconds. The JOBS subtask waits the default interval of 30 seconds and then checks to see if anything has changed. Also, if someone is using the JOBSUM command, the information is updated every time they enter the REFRESH command on the Job Summary Display.

You can set the JOBS task interval higher during times when fewer users are using the JES job-related commands. The response time of JES job-related commands might increase but the information provided will be up-to-date.

To dynamically change the wait‑time interval, issue the MODIFY command.

Example: Change the JOBS Interval

The following command changes the interval to 60 seconds:

F SYSVIEW,MODIFY JOBS,INTERVAL=60

Default: INTERVAL=30
