QUSRJOBI and QTEMP

[Guest.Visitor]

I don't know of a tool that helps to manage QTEMP, though these products: disk/HUNTER and DASD-Plus, may have some solution. But you can control the amount of disk a jobs takes through the Batch Class. Find out which subsystem these jobs are running in, change the Routing Entry for that subsystem to use a Class that has a storage Max assigned to it.

Don't waste time trying to resolve the side effects of poor programming. If the application was written "in house", fix it your self or call in a consultant with expertise in this area. If it is supplied by a third party, get them to fix it under terms of any software maintenance you may have with them. (The approach of using a class to prevent this is clever. However, the programs that are causing the problem will probably fail when their limit is exceeded with the proverbial "unpredictable results".)

We have a buggy Client Server application that occasionally runs away with storage in QTEMP. Trouble is there are 100's of these jobs so they can be very tricky to track down. I put a program in that used QUSRJOBI API using form at JOBI0150 that returns 'Temporary Storage Used'. Turns out that this does NOT include space used by QTEMP!! When does temporary not been temporary then IBM? Does anyone know a way of retrieving QTEMP space across the system - please note I'm not wanting to know the contents of QTEMP or manipulate objects therein, I just want to get the size. Maybe there is an MI instruction? Any thoughts appreciated Ken
