Chapter 2. Overview of job waits and iDoctor for iSeries Job Watcher 25
Interval
The delta time between snapshots. An interval number is stored in Job Watcher files for
chronological sequencing. The interval size is based on the data collection interval that is
selected.
Note that as Job Watcher processes each individual thread or task TDE, the actual
interval time for each one will be unique. In most cases the intervals will all be close to the
user-specific interval duration. As Job Watcher data is sampling data (not a trace), this will
not always be the case.
Eye catcher
An eye catcher is a three-character short description of an individual type of low-level wait
within the system. It is used to determine why work is not progressing.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
