5.2 Considerations when centrally monitoring work tasks in JP1/AJS3 Console

In JP1/AJS3 Console, you can centrally monitor, from a single screen, the status of work tasks that are managed by multiple managers. To use JP1/AJS3 Console to centrally monitor work tasks, determine in advance the work tasks to be monitored and the monitoring method. For details about the features of JP1/AJS3 Console, see 7. Monitoring Applications Using JP1/AJS3 Console in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Overview.

The following table lists and explains the considerations involved when work tasks are centrally monitored in JP1/AJS3 Console.

Table 5-1 Considerations for centralized monitoring of work tasks

Item Description

Monitored objects Determine which work tasks (objects) are to be monitored.

Hierarchization (grouping) of monitored objects Determine the hierarchy levels in which the objects will be monitored.

Monitoring method
Monitoring interval Determine how work tasks (objects) are to be monitored.

The monitoring method from Prioritize current time, Prioritize all unit times, Prioritize current time schedules, and Prioritize all unit time schedules.

Determine the interval at which to refresh the status of the monitored object.

When a hold attribute is set for a monitored work task, decide whether this status (Hold plan) is indicated with the corresponding display color.

Item	Description
Monitored objects	Determine which work tasks (objects) are to be monitored.
Hierarchization (grouping) of monitored objects	Determine the hierarchy levels in which the objects will be monitored.
Monitoring method Monitoring interval	Determine how work tasks (objects) are to be monitored. The monitoring method from Prioritize current time, Prioritize all unit times, Prioritize current time schedules, and Prioritize all unit time schedules. Determine the interval at which to refresh the status of the monitored object. When a hold attribute is set for a monitored work task, decide whether this status (Hold plan) is indicated with the corresponding display color.

(1) Setting monitored objects

Use the AJS3 unit monitored object icon to define the type of work task (object) to be monitored. When creating the AJS3 unit monitored object, specify information including the name of the work task manager host that will do the monitoring, and the name of the work task to be monitored. For details about defining the AJS3 unit monitor object, see 13.4.2 Defining an AJS3 unit monitored object in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.

We recommend that you place the work task manager host that will do the monitoring in the same user authentication bloc as JP1/AJS3 Console (JP1/AJS3 Console Manager). A user authentication bloc means a group of hosts that use the same authentication server as the JP1 user. For details, see the Job Management Partner 1/Base User's Guide. If the user authentication blocs are the same, no login operation is required to open the JP1/AJS3 - View window from the AJS3 unit monitored object. If the user authentication blocs are different, a login operation is required.

(2) Hierarchization of monitored objects

Use the nested business scope icon to define the type of hierarchy in which the object is monitored. Place work tasks that are related in terms of execution order or type (meaning) in the same group, and monitor them as a single work task. For details about defining nested business scopes, see 13.4.1 Defining business scope in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.

(3) Determining the monitoring method and monitoring interval

Define the way that you monitor a work task (object) in the Monitoring Properties dialog box, as follows:

Choose one monitoring method from among Prioritize current time, Prioritize all unit times, Prioritize current time schedules, and Prioritize all unit time schedules (Monitoring method).

Enter the interval at which the monitoring status is to be refreshed (Monitoring interval).

If a hold attribute is set for the monitored object, decide whether it is to be shown in a color that indicates the Hold plan status (Monitoring method).

For details about the monitoring properties, see 13.4.4 Defining monitoring properties in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.
