Default Parameters for AS400SpFileTest

By periodically executing this test, administrators can figure out the number of spooled files in different states. Using the metrics reported by this test, administrators can promptly detect the number of files that are stuck in the HLD (HOLD) status and take immediate steps to release the files from the HOLD status.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the AS400SpFileTest test.

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

• This test connects to the AS400 server being monitored to extract the required metrics. Therefore, specify the name of the AS400 server to connect to in the SERVERNAME text box.

• To enable the test to login to the specified AS400 server, you need to provide the test with the credentials of a valid user to the AS400 server. Hence, specify a valid userID in the USERID text box.

• Provide the password that corresponds to the specified USERID in the PASSWORD text box.

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

• Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to 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.
