Monitor Workload Status

At completion of the new‑day autoscan, the entire day’s workload resides in the tracking file. (For a detailed explanation of the autoscan process, see Autoscan in this chapter.) For the remainder of the day, the CA NSM JM Option schedules, submits, and tracks the progress of that workload.

The CA NSM JM Option does much more than just submit jobs on time. It actually monitors or “tracks” the status of the workload and updates control information as jobsets and jobs progress from one status to another.

Using the tracking facilities of the CA NSM JM Option, you can monitor job status and, as necessary, modify the day’s workload (modify the contents of the tracking file). Any changes you make in the Job and Jobset Tracking windows are temporary and affect only the contents of the tracking file; they do not affect the Job Management policy stored as job or jobset profiles in the Job Management Database.

Note: Although job and jobset resource requirements appear in the Tracking windows, this information is read‑only and cannot be modified through the tracking facilities.

If you discover that you need to make changes that affect CA NSM JM Option policies, as opposed to minor changes in the current day’s workload, see the procedures in Modifying Job Management Policies in the online CA Procedures.

For procedures to monitor workload status, see the following topics in the online CA Procedures:
