Note: The Jobflow GUI is available on Windows platforms only, but can be used to display Windows, UNIX/Linux, and z/OS or OS/390 CA NSM JM Option policy definitions and status.
To access the tracking facility of the CA NSM JM Option, click the Jobflow Forecast icon or the Jobflow Status icon from the CA NSM JM Option GUI.
By reviewing the sections that follow, you will learn to do the following tasks:
Jobflow provides an online, graphical representation of an enterprise’s workload. You can view relationships between jobs that are defined in the scheduling database and monitor the status of jobs in real time. The graphical interface lets you tailor your view of the workload. You can limit the number of jobs to view by specifying job names, time span, and number of successor levels. You can display the results as either a Gantt or Pert chart. You can zoom in on a single job’s successors and triggers, or zoom out for a larger perspective.
Jobflow provides two types of views:
Jobflow forecast views display job relationships (that is, predecessor‑successor or job‑triggers) for selected jobs within a given time frame. You can view dependencies (requirements) for any job in the flowchart.
Jobflow status views display real-time status information for selected jobs within a given time frame. Color coding lets you identify job status and pinpoint trouble spots. For example, abended jobs are red and late jobs are yellow. Status information is updated at regular intervals, so your view of the workload remains current.
Once you display a jobflow view, you can expand the scope of the display to include additional levels of successors (or triggered jobs), and to include job dependencies.
For procedures to view jobflows, see the following topics in the online CA Procedures:
The following sections present an overview of the jobflow forecast view and jobflow status view.
