Configure SQL jobs

Choose either of two methods to change the maximum number of SQL server jobs allowed. Each Java Database Connector (JDBC) connection object requires one SQL server job.

If you are using the JDBC driver in the IBM Developer Kit for Java to access the OS/400 or i5/OS database from your applications, you might need to change the maximum number of jobs allowed.

Overview

Procedure

• Set the maximum number of jobs to *NOMAX.

  Generally, it is easier to account for the number of jobs you need by setting the maximum number of jobs to *NOMAX. Use the Change Prestart Job Entry (CHGPJE) command to change the prestart job entry for the SQL server jobs.

  CHGPJE SBSD(QSYSWRK) PGM(QSQSRVR) MAXJOBS(*NOMAX)

• Set MAXJOBS to a large enough integer value for your applications to handle SQL server jobs.

  If *NOMAX is not an appropriate setting for your iSeries environment, specify a large enough integer value for the MAXJOBS parameter so that your applications have enough SQL server jobs to handle the maximum number of JDBC connections required at any given time by your applications.

Results
