DB2 for i Service to retrieve jobdescription JOBD information

We would like to have an IBM i db2 service to retrieve information about job descriptions - in particular which jobdescription uses which libraries


Use Case:

Many applications use jobdescriptions to define which library is used to access data. During release rollouts someone could forget to change JOBD and jobs are accessing wrong data.
A simple query to e.g. qsys2.jobd_info to search which jobdescription is still access a particular library would immediately solve this issue.
