    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. We see this idea as wanting to have the ability to add job monitors in a particular job(s) via navigator and have notifcations around them (like message monitors).


    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key 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.

    IBM Understands the general intent of this RFE and will consider this as a future delivery.

    This RFE is pretty vague. What do you mean by job monitors? Do you want to monitor messages thrown by the job (the monitor joblog function does that already if I am not mistaken), or monitor if the job is active or not? How? The ability to specify a time window and a job schedule for when the job should be active or should not be active? I am lost what the RFE is about
