Jobstream Administration

jobstream,target job

The jobstream is the central structure in AAI. Jobstreams are containers of jobs that are related to each other, that run together and that end in the execution of the target job. The jobs are the batch processes that are automated by the underlying scheduler. The target job is the end point that you are interested in monitoring and for which you have set up an SLA. The jobstream collects the runtime data of the target job and its direct upstream predecessors. As the individual jobs execute, AAI keeps track of how long it takes for each job to execute. Then, it aggregates those times over the entire jobstream, providing an up-to-date picture of what is going on: Runtime analysis, statistics, averages, and so forth. This information is the basis of the AAI's monitoring and supervision tools such as SLA management and alerting. For more information, see Jobstreams.

As soon as AAI and all its components are installed and fully functional, business area coordinators and jobstreams administrators work closely together to define the initial details of new jobstreams, fine-tune those definitions, analyze them and, if necessary, adjust them to gain efficiency and predictability.

The topics in this section of the documentation explain jobstreams, how to work with them and define jobstream-related options:
