Check with SYSVAPPS if a job name that should be running is not running

Products

• SYSVIEW Performance Management

Issue/Introduction

Omegamon apparently has a function called MISSING(jobname) == ‘JOB name’.
If there is a similar function or method in SYSVAPPS, please let me know.

Environment

OS : z/OS

Release : All

Resolution

SYSVAPPS does not provide functionality similar to the MISSING function offered by Omegamon.

 

To monitor whether a specific job name is INACTIVE rather than ACTIVE in SYSVIEW, define a rule for that job name using the MONRULES command.

Specifically, add an entry for MVS_JOB_Status in MONRULES and set the job name as the value for RsceScope.
If that job name is INACTIVE, it can be detected by triggering the State = INACTIVE condition defined for MVS_JOB_Status in RULES against that job.
