Products

• CA 7 Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

If there any type of facility that will allow messaging to the IBM console (or other area) that can send an alert if a job reaches a certain threshold like a run time of over 20 minutes?

Environment

Release : 12.1

Component : CA 7

Resolution

Use  ARF (Automated Recovery Facility) type of EE, which is Elapsed Time During Execution.  Create an ARF rule type EE and specify the elapsed time to monitor. Define an action in the rule for ARF to take when that time is exceeded to send a message to the console.   Attach the ARFSET to the job to be monitored on the DB.1 Job Definition Panel.    

For example, send a message to the console when a job is still running after 20 minutes:
