6.11.3 Checking the rule startup request status and making a rule startup request (linking with JP1/IM - Rule Operation)

(1) Checking whether a rule startup request was reported to JP1/IM - Rule Operation

With a rule startup request, you can use the function for monitoring automated action status to monitor action status and delay. By setting up these items, you can detect the following types of problems at an early stage in their occurrence:

• Reporting of a rule startup request did not finish within the expected time frame, or took a long time to finish.

• Reporting of a rule startup request failed (with the Fail, Error, or Error (Miss) status).

When a problem is detected, you can generate a JP1 event (event ID = 2010 or 2011) or execute a notification command.

For details about setup, see 5.5.3 Settings for monitoring the automated action execution status in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.

To check whether a rule startup request was reported:

1. In the Event Console window, monitor rule startup events.

   Rule startup events are those JP1 events that show in Action Type.

2. Open the Action Log window or List of Action Results window, and check the execution results for rule startup requests.

   Check the execution status of the rule startup requests.

3. Cancel or re-execute rule startup requests as needed.

   If a rule startup request is stuck in Running status or is in Error status, it cannot be reported to JP1/IM - Rule Operation. Therefore, cancel or re-execute rule startup requests as needed.

When the function for monitoring automated action status is set for rule startup requests:

When reporting using the delay monitoring function or status monitoring function is executed once, reporting is suppressed until the user cancels reporting suppression. When an error in a rule startup request is detected by the delay monitoring function or status monitoring function, after you have finished re-executing or have canceled the rule startup request, follow the procedure described below.

1. In the Event Console window, from the Options menu, display Function-Status Notification Return, and then Action Delay Monitoring and Action Status Monitoring, and then select a function name that is enabled.

   A suppressed function is displayed in gray letters. When you select a function name that is enabled, a dialog box asking whether to cancel reporting suppression opens.

2. Click Yes in the dialog box.

   Reporting suppression is canceled, thus enabling monitoring again.

   Note

   You can determine whether a rule startup request has matched the rule startup condition on the JP1/IM - Rule Operation side by checking the return code displayed in the following three windows:

   • Action Log window

   • List of Action Results window

   • Action Log Details window

For details about the Action Log, List of Action Results, and Action Log Details windows, see Chapter 1. Window Transitions and Login Window in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager GUI Reference.

For details about operations such as checking automated action status and re-execution, also see 8.2.2 Checking the execution results of automated actions.
