Defining Minimum Consumption Thresholds

When you choose option TM on the Parameters Menu, the List Minimum Consumption Alert Thresholds panel is displayed. If some entries are already defined, they are shown in the list panel. Use this panel to enter minimum threshold values to be examined by the Server.

 ******************************* Bottom of data ********************************

You can enter minimum consumption threshold values for a job or a generic job group. In the case of a job captured by the Server, no measurement is generated if the job did not yet reach at least the defined minimum consumption values.

The Central Component allows you to enter separate threshold consumption values for session time, CPU time, EXCPs and Service Units per job or group of jobs. Thresholds for each job or job group are represented by two detail lines on the bottom half of the panel. This area of the panel can be scrolled.
