JES to support displayof started task

JES should also started task information, now we can only see job information. In many case we need to view the log for started task then we need to go back to ISPF.

    After reviewing older RFEs I see that there was a comment provided that may be the answer to your RFE, can you please comment if that covers your needs?

    In chapter 2 of the Host Configuration Guide is a section titled FEJJCNFG, the JES Job Monitor configuration file. One of the definitions in that configuration file is SEARCHALL. It is defined as:
    Collect APPC and z/OS UNIX output that matches the JES Job Monitor
    filter, for example output written to SYSOUT by a Developer for System z
    CARMA server started using the CRASTART method. The default is OFF.
    The only valid values are ON and OFF. To collect the additional spool files, uncomment this directive and specify ON.

    Will this cover your needs?

    This RFE is consistent with our roadmap and is being considered for delivery in the next 2 year time frame. Thanks.

    One typical example is that when we connect to Endevor via CARMA, there is a started task running but we cannot view it via the RDz JES. The logs are written in the started task for foreground Endevor action, so we still need to view it in ISPF.

    We already display started tasks in RDz. But we don't display z/OS Unix tasks that run in BPXAS initiators -- we only show the initiator. Can you provide more specific details regarding this request ?
