Re: How to retrieve number of jobs in a memory pool?

[vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx]

OK - I may have the answer - or maybe even a couple ways to get it!

The QWCRSSTS API (Retrieve System Status) has pool selection since V5R1. And it has 2 formats that might pertain to this question - SSTS0400 has pool information and includes the number of threads running in the pool. This might be more than the things we call jobs - so maybe SSTS0500 is the thing - it gives you the subsystems that are using a pool, and from that you could use the QWDRSBSD API (Retrieve Subsystem Information). Format SBSI0100 includes the number of active jobs in the subsystem.
