Add Workload Group to SQL Table TABLE ACTIVE_JOB_INFO

It would be very useful if the Workload Group (Workload Capping Group) WLCGRP could be added to the IBM i Services SQL table QSYS2.ACTIVE_JOB_INFO().


Use Case:

This addition would allow the addition search criteria such as WHERE WLCGRP <> '' or WHERE WLCGRP = 'QWQGROUP'.

Currently the jobs can be found via the QSYS2.SUBSYSTEM_INFO, QSYS2.JOB_DESCRIPTION_INFO or command line equivalent. However this will not find any jobs which have had the WLCGRP changed while running in any uncapped Job Queue or Subsystem.

    With DB PTF Group 15 for IBM i 7.4 and Group 26 for IBM i 7.3, ACTIVE_JOB_INFO has been enhanced to include a WORKLOAD_GROUP column. In addition, a new WORKLOAD_GROUP_INFO view has been introduced.

    See the following IBM i Services wiki pages for details:

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that should be addressed.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.
