03002: Job Elapsed Time Exceeded Limit

FILE:             Batch User Job Activity
SAS FILE NAME:    DETAIL.BATJOB01
SOURCE LOCATION:  prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE(DYSMFEXC)

SEVERITY:  Impacting            (SEVERITY='I')
MANAGEMENT AREA:  Performance   (MGMTAREA='PERFORMANCE')

PURPOSE:  Identifies long-running batch jobs.

RATIONALE:  The identification of long-running batch jobs is
important to determine data center operation effectiveness
and for management to determine which jobs failed to meet
performance objectives.

DEFINITION:    This exception is detected when a batch job's
elapsed time (i.e., execution time) exceeds the
installation-defined time limit for a specified job group.

EXCEPTION STATEMENTS:  The SAS statements identifying the
exception situation and describing the condition are stored
in the source member named in SOURCE LOCATION and are
described below.

*
**  03002
**  JOB ELAPSED TIME EXCEEDED LIMIT
*;
IF (JOBGROUP=jobgroup AND JOBEXCTM > elapsed-time)
OR (JOBGROUP=jobgroup AND JOBEXCTM > elapsed-time)
OR (JOBGROUP=jobgroup AND JOBEXCTM > elapsed-time)
 THEN DO;
  EXCCODE='03002'; SEVERITY='I'; MGMTAREA='PERFORMANCE';
  EXCDESC1=
  'JOB ELAPSED TIME EXCEEDED LIMIT';
  EXCDESC2='JOBGROUP=' || PUT(JOBGROUP,3.)
           || ' ELAPSED TIME(H:M:S)='
           || PUT(JOBEXCTM,TIME.);
  LINK HIT;
END;

THRESHOLD MODIFICATION:  Modify the value used for elapsed
time (i.e., execution time) as follows:

    jobgroup - The numeric value identifying the selected job
       category.  Group 3 appears as:

          JOBGROUP=3

    elapsed-time - The amount of elapsed time described as
       hours, minutes, and seconds.  A threshold of 3 hours
       and 30 minutes appears as:

          JOBELSTM > HMS(03,30,00)
