The AS400ChkJobTest monitors the status of defined job patterns.This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the AS400ChkJobTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• In the SERVERNAME text box, specify the IP Address/hostname of the AS400 server.

• In the USERID text box, enter the user name using which this test should login to the AS400 server.

• Mention the password that corresponds to the configured USERID in the PASSWORD text box.

• Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• To monitor all the jobs in the active state, set SELECTACTIVE to True. By default, this flag is set to True.  

• To monitor all the jobs in the JobQ state, set the SELECTJOBQ flag to True. By default, this flag is set to False, indicating that, by default, this test monitors only those jobs that are not in the JobQ state.  

• To monitor all the jobs with an OutQ status, select the True option against SELECTOUTQ. By default, this flag is set to False, indicating that, by default, this test monitors only those jobs that are not with an OutQ status.  

• By default, the COUNT text box is set to 10. This indicates that, by default, the detailed diagnosis capability of this test, if enabled, will provide the details of the top-10 CPU consuming jobs that match the configured patterns. If you want the detailed diagnosis to include more number of CPU consumers, then you can change the value of the COUNT parameter accordingly.  

• In the JOB text box, specify the job patterns to be monitored, in the following format: Name:JobPattern. Here, Name refers to the display name of the job pattern that will appear as a descriptor of this test in the eG monitoring console. Pattern can be the full name of the job, or can include wild cards. For instance, to monitor all jobs that begin with the string GLNK, your JOB specification would be: DMIRROR:GLNK*. Note that your job patterns cannot include wild card characters in the middle or at the beginning - i.e., for the example above, your specification cannot be: DMIRROR:*GLNK or DMIRROR:G*LNK. Multiple job patterns can be provided as a comma-separated list.  

• Once the necessary value has been entered, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to "xyz" and $port will be changed to "80" when configuring a test.
