Filter the spool queue

Use these steps to filter the jobs displayed in the current view. The jobs that are filtered out are not deleted; they are just hidden from view until you reset the filter.

  1. In Server Explorer, right-click the JES-enabled enterprise server, and select Show Spool.

    The Spool:<ES-name> tab is displayed.

  2. Click Spool filter icon (Show or hide the spool filters panel). The Spool Filter panel is displayed.
  3. Filter by one of the following aspects:
    • Filter by specific job details: complete the Name, User, and/or Job ID fields to filter on specific details.
    • Filter by output type: select the required output type to display.
    • Filter by queue type: select one or more of the queue types to display.
    • Filter by date/time: specify a date/time range in the Filter on time section.

    You can also sort the filtered entries by one of the following aspects in the Sort By section: Job ID, Name, Submitted. By default, these are sorted in ascending order; click Descending to reverse the order.

  4. Click Apply.

    The filter is applied. To remove the filter, click Spool filter icon again, then select Reset and Apply.
