CA Jobtrac Job Management Event Console Logging Enhancement

Products

• Jobtrac

Issue/Introduction

A new enhancement has been added to CA Jobtrac Job Management to help centralize your monitoring of CA Jobtrac with other CA Jobtrac systems and with other CA scheduling systems, such as Workload Automation Autosys Job Management.

Environment

Release:
Component: JOBTRC

Resolution

The Event Console Logging (ECL) enhancement will route selected CA Jobtrac messages to the Unicenter Enterprise Job Manager or Unicenter Event Console. A new CA Jobtrac startup parameter, ECLNODE=, allows you to specify the node name or names of consoles to receive the messages. Multiple nodes can be specified and all messages sent will be sent to each node defined. You may optionally have the messages WTO'ed to the OS console, by specifying the ECLWTO=Y startup parameter. A third parameter, ECLLATE=Y, will create a message when a job is not submitted by its target time.

The messages that are reported are contained in a new module that is distributed in source, GJTREMSG. Customers can modify the macros in this source to prevent messages from being logged, force some messages to always be WTO'ed in addition to or instead of being logged, and to change the colors and attributes of the messages that are logged.

Messages logged include:

CA JOBTRAC - Primary Submission System (sysid) Token(t) Release(r.m) LV(SPxx)
CA JOBTRAC - Shutting Down (sysid) Token(t) Release(r.m) LV(SPxx)
TRAC015W - CA JOBTRAC Master Scan Task on HOLD
TRAC016I - CA JOBTRAC Master Scan Task RELEASED
TRAC050W Late, Not Submitted by Target Time - Event(eventname) Ver(osd.ver)
TRAC051E Completed Abnormally - Event(eventname) Ver(osd.ver) S/xxx ABEND
TRAC052I Completed Normally - Event(eventname) Ver(osd.ver)
TRAC053I Submitted - Event(eventname) Ver(osd.ver)
TRAC2097W Capture Job Not Found on Checkpoint, Bypassed Event(eventname)
TRACWARN - JOBTRAC Checkpoint xx% FULL

Each message also tagged with the Sysid and CA Jobtrac Token of the system that created the message.

This enhancement became available as published PTF QO61017.
