Working with Active IBM i JOBS (WRKACTJOB)
Monitors CPU, memory, and status of running jobs.
WRKACTJOB is the go‑to command when you want a live look at what your IBM i is doing behind the scenes. Think of it as the heartbeat monitor for active jobs, showing who’s running, who’s waiting, and who’s quietly hogging more CPU than they should. In this lesson, you’ll see how to navigate the display, make sense of key performance stats, and use filters and options to focus on the activity that matters most. Once you get the hang of WRKACTJOB, troubleshooting and keeping tabs on your system becomes much simpler.
