RE: Question for Admins, General

A lot will depend on the environment.


I have a single partition 720 running all in-house software.

Morning checklist:
• Check Management Central
• WRKPRB
• Check fax system
• Check virtual tape backup

Afternoon checklist:
• Check backup job is at delayed status in QBATCH
• Check CPU% (looking for run-away jobs)

I also keep iNav up the corner of my screen throughout the day showing the QSYSOPR queue.

Subject: Question for Admins, General

HI I am considering a new position that include some IBM I admin work.
Whether this distinction considers operator tasks I am including operations.

If you are an admin, can you list the daily tasks you are doing?

My experience is with backups, Monitoring the system for instance looking at percentage of memory used, looking at any jobs that are using massive of the memory, creating ODBC connections, printing issues, running jobs in the ROBOT-M.

Thank you,
Joe
