Job waiting due to "NOT WITH"

[Eric Kammerer]

We are looking for a way to identify any active job in ESP that is currently in a "resource wait," specifically due to a NOTWITH on the job definition. Ideally, we would like to identify both sides when one task is waiting. Is there a way to do this? (Reports, job on CSF, CSF command, etc.) Thank you!

From Page Mode enter the following command to see it provides what you need.

LCSF STATUS EQ 'Waiting for Resources' 

If it does you could create a REXX

Thank you! I would like to ONLY report on jobs waiting for a resource due to a "NOTWITH". This will show all resource waits. (Unless I am missing something) I don't see any difference in the output between jobs waiting on a "defined resource" and a NOTWITH.

Hi Eric,

I set up a simple test here with the use of NOTWITH:
APPL NOTWITH
JOB CYBLZ                     
   NOTWITH (CYBLZ.1)          
   RUN ANY                    
ENDJOB                        
JOB CYBLZ.1                   
   notwith CYBLZ                          
   RUN ANY                    
ENDJOB                        

And found:
- When the JOB CYBLZ.1 is in RESWAIT because of the JOB CYBLZ on NOTWITH,
Enqueue ESPENQ_JOB(CYBLZ.1)_APPL(NOTWITH.11)                    
ESPENQ_JOB(CYBLZ.1)_APPL(NOTWITH.11)                            
    (Gen) Held              Shr   CYBLZ, Appl NOTWITH.11        
          Required          Excl  CYBLZ.1, Appl NOTWITH.11      

- After the JOB CYBLZ.1 is running, it shows:
ESPENQ_JOB(CYBLZ.1)_APPL(NOTWITH.12)                       
          Held              Excl  CYBLZ.1, Appl NOTWITH.12 

So you may consider to use Rick's idea to find out ALL jobs in RESWAIT status, and then compose the proper ENQUEUE command and find out if it's related to NOTWITH.

Hope this helps,

Lucy
