JOB Information Subtask Setup

The JOBS subtask collects job summary information used by the JOBSUM, LISTINP, JJOBQUE, JHELDQUE, and JOUTQUE commands. The subtask starts automatically when the Main Services Address Space initializes. This subtask is optional and does not have to be started; although, the information collected by the JOBS subtask improves the performance of the JOBSUM, LISTINP, JJOBQUE, JHELDQUE, and JOUTQUE display commands.

If the JOBS subtask is not started, CPU usage for a user’s session will increase because the data normally kept by the JOBS subtask will have to be acquired by the user’s subtask.
