Invoke a Monitor

When you invoke a monitor, you use the specified criteria to start the observation and sampling of the target application. A monitor request is passed to the Server Space. The Server Space manages pending and active monitor sessions. See the Installation Guide for a detailed description of how the Server Space monitors an application.

Invoke a monitor in one of the following ways:

• By invoking a monitor definition for managed or scheduled monitor
• By choosing a job which is actively running for immediate results
• By invoking a monitor from outside the TSO Client for automated operations

The chapters "Invoking a Monitor" and "Open Application Program Interface" describe how to start a monitor session.
