7.2.3 Creating a monitored object

(1) Creating AJS3 unit monitored objects

For each AJS3 unit monitored object, you must specify a name to represent the monitored object in JP1/AJS3 Console, the name of the host where the jobnet is defined, and the full name of the jobnet. Note that you can only monitor root jobnets. In JP1/AJS3 Console, you can define a maximum of 500 root jobnets as objects (AJS3 unit monitored objects and business scopes), across all route business scopes.

If you drag the icon of an AJS3 unit monitored object from the Icon list in the Main Scope window (Definition mode) to the map area, the Define Details - [AJS3 Unit Monitored Objects] dialog box opens. The following figure shows the Define Details - [AJS3 Unit Monitored Objects] dialog box.

Figure 7‒7: Define Details - [AJS3 Unit Monitored Objects] dialog box

You can simplify the process of creating AJS3 unit monitored objects by using the function for automatically creating monitored objects that is provided in JP1/AJS3 - View.

You can specify any icon you want for a monitored object, by specifying the file name of the icon you want to display. Only a GIF file (.gif extension) can be set as an icon.

Supplementary note

The functionality for customizing icon files is not supported if you log in to JP1/AJS2 Console Manager from JP1/AJS2 Console 06-71.

(2) Creating object hierarchies using nested business scopes

You can create a custom hierarchy in JP1/AJS3 Console that is unrelated to the hierarchy under JP1/AJS3. Sometimes you may want to manage AJS3 monitored objects in groups, if there are too many to monitor individually, for example. To manage these objects in groups, you can create nested business scopes and place the monitored objects in a hierarchy. You can create up to three levels of nested business scopes. When you select an upper-level business scope, the corresponding nested business scopes are displayed as icons in JP1/AJS3 Console View.

The following figures show hierarchies using nested business scopes.

Figure 7‒8: Hierarchies using nested business scopes

In example 1, the user has created three AJS3 unit monitored objects. These objects are called Notify start of data calculation, Calculate data, and Update database. The user has then created a business scope called Daily data calculation tasks, and grouped the AJS3 unit monitored objects under this business scope. In example 2, the user has created AJS3 unit monitored objects such as Data calculation Nagoya and Data calculation Tokyo to monitor the data for each branch office. The user has grouped these objects under a specially created business scope called Data calculation by branch office.

Supplementary note

The functionality for creating nested business scopes is not supported if you log in to JP1/AJS2 Console Manager from JP1/AJS2 Console 06-71.

(3) Displaying a background image in the map area

You can specify a background image for display in the map area of a business scope.

For example, you could display an image of a map or a time axis as the background of the map area, and then arrange the icons on this image in a meaningful way.

Only a GIF file (.gif extension) or JPG file (.jpg extension) can be set as a background image for the map area.

Supplementary note

The functionality for setting background images is not supported if you log in to JP1/AJS2 Console Manager from JP1/AJS2 Console 06-71.
