Advanced Job Scheduler Output Queue Monitor and Distribution

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We would like to have more parameters in the output queue monitor that allows for wildcard file name such as QP1A* and a delay that allows time for multiple spooled files to develop. Then bundle the spooled file into a common .PDF and follow the existing setup for distribution. This would be similar to using these to accomplish the same:

You can convert to PDF and mail in a single step with SNDSPLPDF.

Use Case:

When generating BRMS recovery reports to a output queue that is monitored by the Advanced Job Scheduler, I get one email for each report as is arrives in the output queue. We prefer to just receive one email with all reports bundled into one .PDF

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM not implement this request. The CAAC feels that IBM's investment in this area would be too costly for the value provided.

    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.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

    For more details about CAAC's role with RFEs, see http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/Blogs/i-Can/May-2017/COMMON-Americas-Advisory-Council-%28CAAC%29-and-RFEs/
