Appendix B: RJE Job Log File

This appendix describes the contents of the RJE job log file /var/opt/sna/rje/ WKST/job.log.

This file is used only if the job_logs parameter is set to YES in the workstation's style file; for more information about setting style file options, see The RJE Workstation Style File. If this option is set to YES, SNAP-IX writes an entry to the file each time a job is spooled to the workstation, sent to the host, or canceled, and each time output is received from the host.

The file is a text file that can be viewed using a standard ASCII text editor. Each entry, or record, in the file consists of two lines. The first gives the date and time at which the entry was written, and the second gives details of the event that caused the entry.

The first two fields of the second line of each entry give the name of the workstation to which the job was submitted (or the workstation that processed the host output), and the type of event that caused the log. The event type is one of the following:

QUED
SENT
CANL
RECV

The remaining fields in the record depend on the event type. The fields shown for each event type are described in the following sections. In some cases, an * (asterisk) appears as a field in a record to indicate that a field stored internally by SNAP-IX is not used for that event type.

B.1 QUED: Job Submitted to the Workstation

A QUED event type indicates that the job was successfully submitted to the workstation and is queued, waiting to be sent to the host. The following is an example of a typical entry:

Tue Nov 21 10:45:06 PST 1995
RJE1 QUED bill -em180 * SPL_abcde /users/bill/job.file

The fields are as follows:

The workstation to which the job was submitted (or the workstation that processed the host output)
The type of event that caused the log
The user name of the user who submitted the job to the workstation
The combination of command-line options used on the job submission command (see Submitting a Job, for more information about these options)
An * (asterisk), indicating an unused field
The spool ID of the submitted job
The job file name that was specified on the job submission command
