What is MJN/400 (Move Job Now/400)?

MJN/400 (Move Job Now/400) is BATCH Monitor Utility for the iSeries. Rather than managing work showing up in QBATCH when the users complain. Let MJN/400 be the automatic traffic cop moving jobs where they can run if they are quick running or a specific departmental queue. System/36 environment issues, with everything going to QBATCH, are a thing of the past.

MJN/400 eliminates the requirement for constant intervention. Long running jobs are quickly escorted to the long running job queues on the system, leaving shorter jobs to run immediately. This can satisfy interactive users that their jobs are running rather than sitting behind long running batch production jobs in the system.
