Monitoring Jobstream Runs

When investigating run data to understand jobstream performance, you need to work through views that present jobstream run data at many levels and from different aspects of execution performance. You also need to refer to jobstream and job definitions to understand the underlying structures, and you need to be able to navigate among all these as you work. This is equally true whether you are an operator monitoring current executions or you are an analyst or supervisor interested in understanding trends over time or exploring past executions.

High-Level Overviews of the Runs of All Jobstreams

Two views show you jobstream run data for all jobstreams, based on filters that you define, but in different ways.

• The Jobstream Runs Timeline View contains a timeline Gantt chart that graphically shows the total runs in each state (complete, current, and forecasted) and in each final run status per business area, and allows you to drill down to subordinate business areas then finally to jobstreams. For information, see Monitoring Current Jobstream Runs with the Timeline View (Web UI)

• The Jobstream Runs Grid View contains a table of every run of every jobstream. For each run, you have columns of execution properties including jobstream definition properties as well as execution data for the specific run. For information, see Monitoring Current Jobstream Runs with the Grid View (Web UI)

From either of these views, you can drill down to get overviews that show different aspects of all the runs of one specific jobstream. In addition, with one click on a specific run you can go straight to the Gantt chart view for that run.

Overview of the Runs of One Jobstream

When you want to know more about the execution performance of a jobstream that you have identified on either of the high-level overviews, click its name to go to its Jobstream Run Details page. Open the Run Details tab to find three views that show all the runs for that jobstream, but each presented to focus on a different aspect of the execution performance.

The following are the three Run Details views:

• Actual

  This view gives you a real-time overview of the status of jobstream runs in relation to the current time, which allows you to check the current health of the jobstream. The current time is marked by the Now flag that runs vertically down the timeline chart. For more information, see Jobstreams Run Details - Actual.

• Relative to SLA

  This view gives you an overview of the status of jobstream runs in relation to the SLA deadline for each run. This allows you not only to check the SLA compliance of the jobstream in recent and predicted runs but also to view the SLA compliance for a specific time range, including within historical run data. For more information, see Jobstreams Run Details - Relative to SLA.

• SLA Graph

  This view gives you both a graphical and tabular overview of the jobstream runs and their performance in relation to their SLA. The graphic at the top shows the duration or end times for all the jobstream runs in relation to the SLA deadline time. The table below contains jobstream details that are relevant to understanding how the runs perform against the jobstream's SLA. For more information, see Jobstreams Run Details - SLA Graph.
