Display Library with Manager Fault Tolerance Active Using USBMJOB

The following example illustrates the use of an IBM i command on a remote system with spooling enabled.

It assumes that manager fault tolerance is active on the client platform via the UCMD configuration file. The example should execute from either a UNIX shell or a Windows system environment. The command is submitted via USBMJOB to allow the output data and the job log of the executed command to be brought back to the system initiating the command.

For this example, USBMJOB requires no input; however, the user must supply <NUL to satisfy Windows operating system requirements. Without <NUL, the request will hang.

USBMJOB outputs data via the standard output file stream (stdout) and outputs job logs and error messages via the standard error file stream (stderr). The system takes data sent back to UCMD and stores it in out400.txt; it takes any error messages and the job logs and stores them in err400.txt.

With the Universal Command server JOBLOG_COPY_KEEP configuration option set to yes, a copy of the job log remains on the originating IBM i system.

The command USBMJOB is installed as part of UCMD Server on the IBM i system.

Command Line Options

Include the -managerft command option set to yes, requesting manager fault tolerance, if it is not enabled via the UCMD configuration file.
