SYSTEM STATUS application
The SYSTEM STATUS application displays a summary of the status of z/OS and selected jobs, and reports exceptions to normal system operation. The panels are as follows:
- SYSTEM STATUS: monitors selected jobs, displays a summary of the status of z/OS, and reports critical exceptions to normal operations by displaying colored/highlighted ALERTs that require operator intervention.
- SYSTEM STATUS PROFILE: Enables you to define job thresholds to be monitored on the System Status panel. These are set up after the BMC AMI Ops Automation application is activated and can be changed at any time online.
- TARGET PROFILE SELECTION PANEL: allows you to define individual profiles for up to 23 targets (plus the default).
SYSTEM STATUS panel
The SYSTEM STATUS panel has four areas.
Area | Description |
|---|---|
Area 1 | Shows the current system statistics |
Area 2 | Displays the jobs being monitored and the CPU and SIO usage of these jobs You can scroll this area by positioning the cursor on the COMMAND line or in the ALERT-related field and pressing the scroll down key. |
Area 3 | Displays RESOURCE values by plotting a graph of values that are either above or below the thresholds you set You can scroll this area by positioning the cursor within the area and pressing the scroll down key. |
Area 4 | Displays ALERTs issued in response to exception conditions You can scroll this area by positioning the cursor and pressing the scroll down key. |
Use the primary command Sort to arrange the ALERT display by Queue or Time. If you use SORT TIME, the ALERTs are sorted with the most recently issued ALERT at the top of the display. If you use SORT QUEUE, the ALERTs are sorted with the most recently created queue is shown at the top of this display.
