Please add subsystem column to QSYS2.JVM_INFO

We use QSYS2.JVM_INFO to monitor specific JVMs, alert of heap size etc. It would be really helpful if we could retrieve/filter on the subsystem of the JVM. We have multiple JVMs with the same runtime characteristics - except subsystem - for instance for prod and test. 

As far as I can see, this is not possible today.

    Since IBM believes that using QSYS2.GET_JOB_INFO to access the subsystem information is an existing solution for this request, this Idea is being closed.

    Excellent, thank you very much! I'll see if I can close this idea myself.

    No need for IBM to add this as it is possible to combine two SQL services to get the subsystem information. This is the power with SQL services as you can combine several of them:

    select SUBSYSTEM, X.*

    from QSYS2.JVM_INFO X,

    lateral (select V_SBS_NAME as SUBSYSTEM from table(QSYS2.GET_JOB_INFO(JOB_NAME)));
