5.2.1 Considerations when using JP1/AJS3 Console
The following table lists and explains the considerations involved when work tasks are centrally monitored in JP1/AJS3 Console.
- Organization of this subsection
(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.
