10.1.1 Monitoring JP1/AJS3 by using JP1/ IM

(1) Monitoring using JP1 events

The JP1 events issued by JP1/AJS3 or other JP1 products are listed in the JP1/IM - View event console window. You can modify the display conditions for the event console so that only the JP1 events you are interested in will appear in the list.

If a particular condition in JP1/AJS3 triggers a JP1 event, the event is passed through JP1/Base to JP1/IM - Manager and displayed in the JP1/IM - View event console window. You can select a listed JP1 event to display the JP1/AJS3 screen to identify the cause of the event.

For details about the events JP1/AJS3 issues, see A. JP1 Events Issued by JP1/AJS3 in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Administration Guide.

This example describes how JP1/IM is used to monitor messages, output to the Hitachi integrated trace log and syslog, about errors that occurred on the JP1/AJS3 manager host and agent host.

A description of the numbered steps in the figure, from detection of an error to troubleshooting, follows.

Figure 10‒1: Example of error detection using JP1/IM

1. An event such as an error occurred in JP1/AJS3 and a message was output to a log, such as the Hitachi integrated trace log.

2. JP1/Base, which uses log trapping (for Error- and Warning-level messages) to monitor the Hitachi integrated trace log and syslog, detected the message, and registers a JP1 event in the event DB.

3. The registered JP1 event is forwarded to the manager host that runs JP1/IM.

4. The received JP1 event is registered in the event DB.

5. JP1/IM acquires the JP1 event from the event DB.

6. The acquired JP1 event is displayed on JP1/IM - View to notify the user that an error occurred in an agent host.

7. To correct definitions or re-execute the job, start JP1/AJS3 - View.

   Important note

   When you use JP1/IM, a large number of JP1 events might be output from the JP1/AJS3 manager host and agent host. If an excessive number of JP1 events are output, for example, consider using the filtering of events from JP1/Base to JP1/IM to stop forwarding the JP1 events issued by JP1/AJS3 itself.

(2) Other features supported by JP1/IM

In addition to the features described above, JP1/IM supports the following features:

• Calling the JP1/AJS3 - View window

  You can call the JP1/AJS3 - View window from the JP1/IM - View window that monitors JP1/AJS3 to view or change the definitions and execution times and dates of jobnets.

  If a JP1 event is issued regarding the execution of a JP1/AJS3 jobnet, you can open the Jobnet Monitor window to display jobnets related to the issued JP1 event.

• Monitoring events and files output by JP1/AJS3

  JP1/AJS3 itself cannot monitor events and files it outputs. Therefore, use JP1/IM to monitor events and files output by JP1/AJS3 and execute jobs automatically.
