4.2.1 Job execution log
The purpose of a job execution log is to notify users of the results of executing batch jobs. This log information, excluding the contents for the standard output for user programs, is output to the files under the spool job directory and to the standard error output when a job terminates. You can use JP1/AJS - View, among other methods, to view job execution logs.
The following information is output to the job execution log:
Start and end messages for batch jobs
Start and end messages for job steps
Contents of job definition scripts
Results of executing commands
Status and postprocessing results of files that have been prepared
Standard output from user programs (stdout)#1
Standard error output from user programs (stderr)#2
Messages related to acquiring coverage information
- #1
Output while the job is running to the standard output in effect at the time the job started if either of the conditions listed below is satisfied.
The -s option is specified in the adshexec command or PARENT is specified in the OUTPUT_STDOUT parameter in the environment file.
When the root job is the minimum output mode
- #2
A root job running in minimum output mode outputs data to the standard error output in effect at the time the job started, rather than to a file under the spool job directory.
The JOBLOG_SUPPRESS_MSG parameter can be set to suppress output to the JOBLOG file of some information messages. For details about messages that can be specified, see the description in JOBLOG_SUPPRESS_MSG parameter in the manual JP1/Advanced Shell.
