Try this cli command on the grid environment to get a listing of the sas jobs (depending on the privileges set) being executed currently in your environment.

bjobs

Output Will be similar to :

JOBID USER STAT QUEUE FROM_HOST EXEC_HOST JOB_NAME SUBMIT_TIME

Thanks but i am looking from application perspective. I used to use "bjobs -u all" commands to get details but it doesn't tell from which application job is running (example, SAS EG or Studio or SAS EM)

It does for the Workspace sessions created by SAS EG. Not sure about other sas applications though.

JOB_NAME

SAS Enterprise Guide_SASApp - Workspace Server

Hi @woo,

I think you can use the command bjobs -u all to get job information for SAS Studio and SAS EG applications. If you have a large base of users using these applications and you want to monitor the jobs, you can define separate queue for each application and monitor the jobs submitted to respective queues.

Since you haven't mentioned which version of SAS you are using, just to let you know Grid Manager plugin for SMC isn't supported in SAS 9.4 M6

This link has steps to setup queues at application level.
