RE: IBM Job Scheduler and SOX

["Goodbar, Loyd (ETS - Water Valley)" <LGoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've not been audited on the actual scheduling of jobs, but for monitoring
for abnormal completions.

We use the Advanced Job Scheduler for all business operations. There is a
standard report showing job history information.

I schedule a job called JOBMONITOR with this command:
DSPHSTJS STATUS(*ABNORMAL)                          
         PERIOD((*AVAIL &WEEKAGO) (*AVAIL &YESTMDY))
         SEQOPT(*JOB)                               
         OUTPUT(*PRINT)                             

The date parameters:
WEEKAGO        6      *NONE       *QMDY(D-7)
YESTMDY        6      *NONE       *QMDY(D-1)

Our job runs every Monday to review last week's abnormal jobs.

Not sure of the equivalent for the built-in scheduler.

HTH,
Loyd

My SOX auditors want me to prove that the jobs on the job scheduler
actually run according to their schedule.  I've never had a problem with
IBM's scheduler so I'm a bit miffed that I have to prove it works.

Is there any neat file that logs when a scheduled job runs and the state
it finishes in?

Has anyone else had to do this?  What did you do?
