Issue/Introduction

Unable to browse JOBDOC for distributed jobs that are added using the APPLINS command.

Environment

Release : 12.0
Component : ESP WORKLOAD AUTOMATION

Resolution

This is working as designed. Inserted JOBs are processed differently than JOBs in a procedure.

Inserted JOBs are processed outside the context of a procedure, and are not aware of the libraries specified in the procedure such as DOCLIB. 

This information is available for MVS JOBs because it's located in their tracking records.  Non-MVS JOBs do not have tracking records, and therefore do not have the DOCLIB information.

The solution is to provide DOCLIB with the inserted JOB. 

Example:

        JOB jobname TASK
           RUN ANY
           delaysub realnow plus 2 minutes
           ESP APPLINS APPL(%ESPAPPL..%ESPAPGEN) -
           STATEMENTS -
           ('DOCLIB ''your.jobdoc.library'';-
          sun_Job ESPXMAIN.%ESPAHH.%ESPAMM.%ESPASS; -
           AGENT agentname; -
           SCRIPTNAME /<path>; -
             NOTWITH SARUNNER.-; -
           endjob')
             REEXEC IN (05)
         ENDJOB

Note: The DOCLIB data set name must be enclosed within double quotes as shown in the example.
