IBM i Services for the Advanced Job Scheduler (AJS)

IBM i is moving into the direction of adding SQL service to nealry every part of the operating system, except for the Advanced Job Scheduler. To my knowledge there are none. Since the license simplification the use of the Advanced Job Scheduler is increasing. 

Being able to use the SQL services of AJS to add a new scheduled job to AJS would add a lot of flexibility when using SQL scripting in general. 

Idea priority High

    The CEAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority Idea that is important to be addressed. If AJS is the "tool to be used" instead of the old job scheduler -then it should be included in the SQL services.

    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 key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.
