Creation times for the joblogs are every 21 seconds.
There is no overlap.
The beginning and end time of each message does not match the
creation time of the QPJOBLOG.
Only the final 159 spoolfile matches.
The final joblog is 62 times larger (5,164 pages) then 2 thru 158
(81 pages)

What were the logged [and not filtered] messages in each of the spooled QPJOBLOG produced in response to [each of] the CPI2417 messages sent to the history log (QHST), would be of the most interest. What was in the final spooled joblog are not of much interest, with regard to finding the possible origin of the CPI2417.

If each of the 81-page joblogs are effectively identical, but only a couple CPI2417 were issued, then I would be suspicious that all of them were the result of the CPI2417; that there might be some defect whereby the CPI2417 is not properly being issued for every case.

If a job will be known to reproduce the condition of the multiple joblogs [including some for CPI2417], then as described in another reply, using servicing\debug can very easily assist to determine the origin for the [non joblog-server-produced] spooled QPJOBLOG files for a job; that includes probably identifying any that might be a result of the condition diagnosed by CPI2417, even if that message is [unexpectedly] not being sent.
