Ah. I see. That makes sense. thanks for the information.
The QSYSSCD job handles events for both the cleanup and power scheduler. There are a fair number of events being handled in this job, some of which appears to be dependent on serialization through a single job. While I'm sure it is possible to do this another way, it would be a fair amount of work to unwind and rewrite it. And I'm not sure there is a clear benefit for the cost to do so.
The daylight saving time problem Rudi describes was fixed with the following PTF's when the problem was reported in 2019:
7.4 ??? SI70595
7.3 ??? SI70594
For these reasons, I am declining this RFE at this time. If there are other issues that have not been addressed, this RFE can be reopened for further evaluation.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Power Systems
Product - IBM i
Component - Core OS
Operating system - IBM i
Source - None
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Power Systems
Product - IBM i
Component - System Management
Operating system - IBM i
Source - None
This is a good idea as this job also has problem with the daylight change twice a year. This job start itself after running, again with a delay op 24 hours. Due to the daylight change adjustment this job has an offset of 1 hour. Due to the time adjustment of daylight change.
To be clear, I realize this routine sits idle on an event wait. But I needs to do its job and then get out of the way, and the Job Scheduler approach is a better option IMHO. Users see this job sitting in QCTL (using WRKACTJOB or similar interfaces) and are wondering why it is running 24x7.
