Description: The jmJobIndex of the oldest job that is still in one of the 'active' states (pending, processing, or processingStopped). In other words, the index of the 'active' job that has been in the job tables the longest.

If there are no active jobs, the agent SHALL set the value of this object to 0.

See Section 3.2 entitled 'The Job Tables and the Oldest Active and Newest Active Indexes' for a description of the usage of this object.

What is jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex?

This read-only value reports the jmJobIndex of the longest-running active job (pending, processing, or processingStopped) in the job tables, or 0 if there are no active jobs. An admin uses it to quickly locate the job that has been waiting or running the longest, which is often the first one worth investigating if the queue seems stuck. For example, checking this index and finding the same job remains oldest for an unusually long time suggests that job is stalled and blocking others behind it.
