We have a client with many jobs and they would like to monitor ALL the jobs. How can we do this in Autosys?

Issue/Introduction

Team,

I got a request from the client, where they need to monitor specific job flows on WCC. 
I thought that global commands would be helpful on this case, but they need too many jobs/flows included. 
Please see below the list of jobs / commands and let me know if you have another solution to accomplish their needs.

They want to create a specific global command for each box/job:

The Box Batches need to be added

autorep -J n%|grep RU

autorep -J n%|grep FA

autorep -J abc6% | grep 'FA'

autorep -J abc6% | grep 'RU'

autorep -J abc6% | grep 'SU'

autorep -J n%new%off%daily%

autorep -J n%new%tab%12%daily%

autorep -J n%chg%batch%

autorep -J n%synch%ref%

autorep -J n%capis%

autorep -J npa6%dcs%

autorep -J job123 -q

autorep -J job123

Environment

Autosys 12.x
WCC 12.X

 

Resolution

The solution you have is probably the best even though it is cumbersome.

there are other options I will list out below but all have their drawbacks as well.
Options 1:
You could modify all of the jobs so add a group attribute or application attribute
this would allow you to then run a single autrep command and use the -I or -B command line switch to pull all of the jobs at once.

Note:
The downside is that someone could use the same field to do a send event command and start all of the jobs at once.
Also, this may take considerable effort to modify all of the jobs.

Option 2:
Create a View for all of the jobs in WCC.

Note:
The downside to this is, depending on the actual number of jobs this could impact the performance of WCC or just be very slow.

Option 3:
Use REST AWES calls to return the job information.

Example 1:
curl -X GET "https://<AEWS_SERVER>:9443/AEWS/job-run-info?filter=runStartTime%3E2023-04-05" -H "accept: application/json"

 

Example 2:

you can add application==appname in addition

curl -X GET "https://<AEWS_SERVER>:9443/AEWS/job-run-info?filter=runStartTime%3E2023-04-05%3Bapplication%3Dabcd" -H "accept: application/json"
