10.2.1 Handling response-waiting events in JP1/IM
The following response-waiting events are issued when a batch job enters a status where it is waiting for a response from an operator:
-
In BJEX
Event ID: 00005C21
-
In JP1/AS
Event ID: 00007121
To monitor response-waiting events in JP1/IM, you need to configure BJEX or JP1/AS to issue the response-waiting event directly to the JP1/IM - Manager host (the integrated manager). You also need to enable the response-waiting event management function in JP1/IM - Manager.
For details about the response-waiting event (event ID: 00007121), see the JP1/Advanced Shell Description, User's Guide, Reference, and Operator's Guide.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Paths through which response-waiting events are issued
BJEX and JP1/AS issue response-waiting events directly to the integrated manager, not by the usual forwarding paths provided by JP1/Base. To have BJEX issue all response-waiting events directly to the integrated manager, specify the JP1/IM - Manager host name in the JP1IM_MANAGER_HOST parameter of the BJEX configuration file (bjex.conf). When JP1/IM is linked with JP1/AS, specify the JP1/IM - Manager host name in the HOSTNAME_JP1IM_MANAGER parameter in the JP1/AS environment file.
- Order in which response-waiting events from BJEX or JP1/AS and JP1 events from other products arrive on the same host
-
Products like JP1/AJS and JP1/Base that reside on the BJEX or JP1/AS host use the paths provided by JP1/Base to forward JP1 events to the integrated manager via site managers. For this reason, response-waiting events issued by BJEX or JP1/AS, and JP1 events issued by other products, might not arrive at the integrated manager in the order in which they were issued. You can identify which message belongs to which job by viewing the job ID in the message of the response-waiting event.
The following figure shows the paths through which response-waiting events are forwarded from BJEX and JP1/AS hosts:

- Important
-
When BJEX or JP1/AS forwards a waiting-response event to an instance of JP1/IM - Manager that is not on the specified host, it is not handled as a response-waiting event at the destination. In this case, you will be unable to respond to the message at the destination host.
(2) Response-waiting event management function
The response-waiting event management function lets you respond to response-waiting events from JP1/IM - View. You can enable this function in the configuration of the instance of JP1/IM - Manager that links with BJEX or JP1/AS.
After you enable the response-waiting event management function, you must enable the setting that allows individual users to respond to and work with response-waiting events. You can do so in the Preferences window of JP1/IM - View.
For details about how to enable this setting, see 10.3 Configuring JP1/IM to link with BJEX and JP1/AS.
Note that you can still monitor waiting-response events as ordinary JP1 events if you do not enable the response-waiting event management function and the setting that allows users to respond to and work with these events.
- Important
-
Response-waiting events are handled as such if they are received by JP1/IM - Manager after the response-waiting event management function is enabled. Response-waiting events received before the function is enabled are handled as ordinary JP1 events.
