A.5 Monitoring the status of JP1/AJS3

You can determine the operation status of JP1/AJS3 - Manager, execution status of jobs in jobnets, and operation status of JP1/AJS3 - Agent based on the color of JP1AJS2 symbols. In addition, you can obtain detailed information from the Alarms Browser and the ajsdetail window.

When the status of JP1/AJS3 - Manager or JP1/AJS3 - Agent changes, an SNMP trap reporting the status change is sent to NNM. Then, NNM displays the symbols in a color that corresponds to the reported status.

When JP1/AJS3 - Manager is monitoring the scheduler status, the monitoring process checks the jobnet every 5 minutes. Therefore, a job status change is applied to NNM symbols a maximum of 5 minutes later than the time at which the status was changed.
The status monitoring process of the scheduler is common to the physical and logical hosts. If at least one job in the Warning or Abnormal status exists on a host, regardless of whether the host is a physical host or logical host, the process assumes JP1/AJS3 - Manager to be abnormal and notifies NNM symbols of the abnormal status.

Even if you remove the cause of the status change that is reported to NNM while you are using JP1/AJS3 - Manager or JP1/AJS3 - Agent, the symbol indicating the operation status of JP1/AJS3 - Manager or JP1/AJS3 - Agent is not initialized to keep indicating the status of a higher severity level (for example, if an error occurs in JP1/AJS3 and the error is reported to NNM, the JP1AJS2 symbol of NNM remains displayed in the color indicating an error even if you remove the cause of the error). When this occurs, reset the symbol manually.

This section describes how to interpret the JP1AJS2 symbols shown in the node submap, how to read the messages shown in the Alarms Browser, and how to use detailed information shown in the ajsdetail window, as well as how to reset the status of the JP1AJS2 symbols.

(1) Interpreting JP1AJS2 symbols shown in the node submap

The colors and meanings of JP1AJS2 symbols shown in the node submap vary depending on whether the status of JP1/AJS3 - Manager or JP1/AJS3 - Agent is monitored. Table A-9 shows symbol colors and their meanings when monitoring the status of JP1/AJS3 - Manager. Table A-10 shows symbol colors and their meanings when monitoring the status of JP1/AJS3 - Agent.

Table A‒9: Colors and meanings of JP1AJS3 symbols when monitoring JP1/AJS3 - Manager
Color of symbol (default^#1)	Meaning	Severity^#2
Color indicating Unknown (Light blue)	The status is unknown.	1
Color indicating a Normal range (Green)	JP1/AJS3 - Manager is active. JP1/AJS3 - Manager is operating normally.	2
Color indicating a Warning range (Cyan)	Some warning-end jobs exist.	3
Color indicating a Minor alert range (Yellow)	Some abnormal-end jobs exist.	4
Color indicating a Restricted operation (Light pink) Color indicating a Critical range (Red)	Execution of jobnets in schedule failed. Job execution failed. Operation based on an event job failed.	5

#1: The default symbol colors might differ depending on the NNM you are using.
#2: The highest severity is 5 and 1 is the lowest.

Table A‒10: Colors and meanings of JP1AJS2 symbols when monitoring JP1/AJS3 - Agent
Color of symbol (default^#1)	Meaning	Severity^#2
Color indicating Unknown (Light blue)	The status is unknown.	1
Color indicating a Normal range (Green)	JP1/AJS3 - Agent is active. JP1/AJS3 - Agent is operating normally.	2
Color indicating a Restricted operation (Light pink) Color indicating a Critical range (Red)	Job execution failed. Operation based on an event job failed.	3

#1: The default symbol colors might differ depending on the NNM you are using.
#2: The highest severity is 3 and 1 is the lowest.

The color of a JP1AJS2 symbol indicates the most serious status among the following operation statuses of the JP1/AJS3 functions:

Schedule control of jobnets (except when monitoring the status of JP1/AJS3 - Agent)
Execution control of jobs
Operation control with event jobs

You can check the status of each function in the ajsdetail window. For further details, see (3) Viewing detailed information in the ajsdetail window.

(2) Reading messages in Alarms Browser

When NNM receives an SNMP trap from JP1/AJS3 - Manager or JP1/AJS3 - Agent, it displays detailed information regarding the following statuses in the Alarms Browser:

Operation status of JP1/AJS3 - Manager
Execution status of jobs in jobnets of JP1/AJS3 - Manager
Status of scheduler service of JP1/AJS3 - Manager
Execution status of event job-based operation control of JP1/AJS3 - Manager
Operation status of JP1/AJS3 - Agent
Execution status of event job-based operation control of JP1/AJS3 - Agent

The following describes how to display the Alarms Browser as well as two kinds of message formats and message meanings shown in the Alarms Browser.

You can find out what causes a particular message to appear in the Alarm Browser by checking the messages output to the integrated trace log and scheduler log with reference to Table A-11.

In NNM's Alarm Categories, click the Status Alarms button.
Message format 1

For example, jajs_dbmd__JF0 is displayed when the setup identifier of the embedded database is _JF0.

#6

scheduler-service-name is replaced with the name of the scheduler service.

For example, jajs_schd_AJSROOT1 is displayed when the scheduler service name is AJSROOT1.

(3) Viewing detailed information in the ajsdetail window

When NNM receives an SNMP trap from JP1/AJS3 - Manager or JP1/AJS3 - Agent, it displays detailed information regarding the operation status of JP1/AJS3 - Manager, execution status of jobs in jobnets, or operation status of JP1/AJS3 - Agent in the ajsdetail window.

The following describes how to display the ajsdetail window and the meaning of the items displayed in the window.

To display the ajsdetail window:

Click the JP1AJS2 symbol about which you want to display detailed information, and then choose Administer, JP1/AJS2 Manager, and View Detail.

The ajsdetail window appears.

See the following figure:

Figure A‒7: ajsdetail window

Meaning of the items displayed in the ajsdetail window

Title line

Indicates the object name.

Process

Displays the names of the JP1/AJS3 functions.

Process Manager

Process management control of JP1/AJS3
Job Schedule

Schedule control of jobnets.

Displayed in units of scheduler services.

This function does not work while the status of JP1/AJS3 - Agent is being monitored.
Event Action

Operation control with event jobs

Service Name

Displays the names of scheduler services.

Status

Indicates the status of each function. For details, see (1) Interpreting JP1AJS2 symbols shown in the node submap.

JP1 Host Name

Displays the appropriate logical host name when multiple logical hosts are activated.

Message

Nothing displayed.

Cautionary notes

When the scheduler service configuration is changed, the status before the change remains in the JP1AJS2 symbol objects. If the status of the scheduler service whose configuration was changed is not correctly reflected in the ajsdetail window, enable the new configuration.

To enable the new configuration:

Use the ajsovsymrem command to delete, in one operation, the JP1AJS2 symbols from the node submap.

For details on the ajsovsymrem command, see C.3 ajsovsymrem.
Restart the JP1/AJS3 service.
Re-create the JP1AJS2 symbols by the method creating symbols for all hosts.

For details, see subsection A.4(1) Creating symbols.

(4) Resetting JP1AJS2 symbols

If, after JP1/AJS3 - Manager or JP1/AJS3 - Agent has reported an operation status to NNM, you remove the factor of the status change, reset the JP1AJS2 symbol. Usually, you must reset it to the Normal. However, if you are not sure about the operation status or execution status of jobs, reset it to Unknown.

To reset the JP1AJS2 symbol:

Click the JP1AJS2 symbol that you want to reset. Then, choose Administer, JP1/AJS2 Manager, Initial symbol and Normal or Unknown.

The JP1AJS2 symbol is reset to a Normal or an Unknown status.
