I had an issue with pending joblogs filling up the job tables on my system before.
What is the point of the pending feature if it can potentially stop the system ?
I think it might be better to make sure the job description for QZDA* jobs is set to 4/00/*NOLIST or some other combo that doesn’t generate joblogs.
I’m curious.

That?s one way but why create the job logs at all? Use the pending feature

?Our system has many QZDASIOINIT jobs running which are server by profile QUSER and job QRWTSRVR.
QUSER has a jobd of QSFTJOBD and it is creating hundreds of job logs for normal ending filling up QEZJOBLOG.
We want to eliminate these disk suckers.
Best way?
Create new JOBD for those jobs and config JOBD not to create joblogs?
