The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
No_of_Auto_start_jobs Indicates the number of jobs of Autostart type processed on the server. Number  
No_of_batch_jobs Indicates the number of Batch jobs processed on the server. Number  
No_of_interactive_jobs Indicates the number of Interactive jobs processed on the server. Number  
No_of_subsystem_jobs Indicates the number of Subsystem jobs processed on the server. Number  
No_of_spooled_reader_jobs Indicates the number of Spooled reader jobs processed on the server. Number  
No_of_system_jobs Indicates the number of System jobs processed on the server. Number  
No_of_spooled_writer_jobs Indicates the number of Spooled writer jobs processed on the server. Number  
No_of_SCPF_jobs Indicates the number of Source PF system jobs processed on the server. Number  
Jobs_in_clear Indicates the number of jobs that are in various states such as OPN, RDY, PND, SAV and PRT states. Number The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the name of the jobs, the user name, the job number, the type and status of the jobs, etc.
Jobs_in_warning Indicates the number of jobs that are in the WTR status. Number A low value is desired for this measure. A sudden/gradual increase in the value of this measure indicates that more number of jobs are still in the writing state and are not forwarded for printing process. This may create a processing bottleneck on the system. The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the name of the jobs, the user name, the job number, the type and status of the jobs, etc.
Jobs_in_critical Indicates the number of jobs that are in the HLD state. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A high value of this measure indicates that more number of jobs are held in the queues. Consequently, the new jobs will be made to wait and the printing process will be delayed.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the name of the jobs, the user name, the job number, the type and status of the jobs, etc.
