When you are connected to a z/OS® system the z/OS Jobs view shows all the output data sets for a specified job. The job name can be entered in the Job ID field or the Link to Selection button can be selected so that any job that is selected in the Jobs view is automatically displayed in the z/OS Job view. When you select an output data set in the z/OS view, the content of the data set is displayed in the view.
You must have an active z/OSMF connection before you can view any jobs. See the related link later in this topic for further information about configuring system connections.
To show the output data sets for a job enter the job ID in the Job
ID field. Alternatively, select the Link to
Selection button , then select a job in the Jobs
view. When the Link to Selection button is selected, clicking on a
job in the Jobs view shows the output data sets for that job in the z/OS Job view. If you submit a
job while the Link to Selection button is selected
the job output is shown in the z/OS Job
view.
You can refresh the contents of the z/OS Jobs view by pressing F5. If the job is still active, the view is updated. If the job is not active, a message is displayed indicating that the job has completed.
In the screen capture of the z/OS Job view the output data sets for the job ID JOB24935 are listed. The data set JESMSGLG is selected and the contents of the data set are displayed.
When the content is displayed, the pane scrolls to the last record in the data set.
When you select the JESJCL data set, if the contents reference a data set name, for example: DSN=NBISHOP.CNTL.JCL(OUT), you can hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard and hover over the text. The text changes to a hyperlink. Clicking the hyperlink opens the data set in an editor where you can browse or change the content.
