Overview
This course describes the concepts you must be familiar with in order to submit and monitor jobs on an IBM i system.
The course begins by discussing interactive jobs. These are the sessions that are started when users sign on the system. It then describes how batch jobs are executed in the system. Next, the course considers the role three components of the IBM i system - subsystems, job descriptions, and job queues - play in the processing of batch jobs. The course then discusses spooling, the process used to store printer output, and describes how spooled output is managed by the IBM i system. The course ends by illustrating the flow of an interactive job and a batch job through the system.
Approximate Study Time: 60 minutes
Objectives
After completing this course, you should be able to:
- Name the types of IBM i jobs and identify how each is begun
- Name the IBM i objects used to support job processing, and identify the functions performed by each
- Name the IBM i components used to manage the output created by jobs, and identify the functions performed by each
- List the steps performed by the IBM i operating system when running a batch or interactive job

Job Flow
Audience
This course is intended for anyone who will be using IBM i work management facilities. This audience includes users who submit and monitor the execution of their own batch jobs, users who control the printing of their output, and operators who are responsible for monitoring and controlling job processing. The course is also recommended for anyone who wants to learn how work is managed on an IBM i system.
Prerequisites
This course assumes that you have a basic knowledge of IBM i facilities. You can satisfy this prerequisite by successfully completing the Introduction to the IBM i Environment series.
