SYSVIEW : No alert when required job is down

Products

• SYSVIEW Performance Management

Issue/Introduction

We are not getting alerts when a job is down that is required to be active in the mvs monitor definitions.

Environment

 z/OS / MVS

Release: R16
Component: SYSVIEW

Cause

 Three items are required for CA-SYSVIEW to monitor jobs that are required to be active. 

Resolution

1.  SYSVIEW command STATES should have an entry definition for the job. 
2.  SYSVIEW command SCHEDULE should have the entry for MVS-REQ-JOBS monitoring required jobs as active. 
3.  SYSVIEW command MONITOR should have an entry for the job to be monitored that INCLUDEs it for monitoring.
