This test monitors the status of defined job patterns.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• 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.  

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
