Cannot open job from notification after submitting job from favorited search query #4352

Describe the bug

If I favorite a search query (e.g., if my HLQ is ADAM, I filter data sets using ADAM as the query, right-click on the profile node and add to favorites) and submit a job from a member in favorites, the job is submitted successfully, but if I click on the Open Job button in the notification window nothing happens, and an error is shown in the logs.

Zowe Explorer appears to be assuming that the favorited search query is the profile name.

To Reproduce

  1. Search for data sets
  2. Right-click on the profile node and select add to favorites
  3. From the favorites tree, find your favorited query and submit a member
  4. In the notification that appears, click the Open Job button. Nothing appears to happen.
  5. Check the Zowe Explorer logs

Expected behavior

Zowe Explorer should show the spool files for the job I just submitted.

Screenshots

In this screenshot, I submitted IEFBR14 from [HLQ].PUBLIC.JCL. When I click on the open job button from the notification, the Zowe Explorer logs show that it is looking for a profile named [HLQ], which does not exist.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS:
  • Zowe Explorer Version: Tested with 3.4.2, 3.5.0, and the 3.5.1 RC as of June 19, 2026.
  • (Optional) Zowe CLI Version:
  • (Optional) Do you have secure credentials enabled?
  • (Optional) Are you using a custom credential manager?

Additional context

The job is submitted properly, it's just that the open job button in the notification does not work.
