Managing File Transfer Resources › Monitor File Transfer Schedules

Monitor File Transfer Schedules

File transfer schedules are FTSCHD class resources.

The display of these resources on the status monitor is color coded. Typically, green indicates that files are arriving according to the schedule, while yellow or red suggests problems that require your attention.

To monitor and diagnose a file transfer schedule whose status indicates a problem

1. Enter L next to the schedule.

   The transient log for the schedule appears, listing messages that indicate what events have occurred for the schedule.

2. Enter S next to the message that indicates the problem.

   The activity log appears, listing the messages at the time when the problem occurred. These messages can provide you with more information about the problem.

Acknowledge a Failure Status

If the status of a schedule appears in red and you know that it is no longer a problem, enter OK beside it to set its status color to green.

Display the Next Time a Schedule Starts Monitoring

To find out when a schedule will next start monitoring, enter NXT beside it.

A message in the following format appears in the extended display area:

NEXT START ON day_of_week date AT time

Note: The command does not change the state of the schedule.

Display Selective Schedules on the File Transfer Status Monitor

You can display only those schedules you want to monitor as follows:

If you want to remove a particular schedule from your monitor, enter OFF beside it. The schedule is stopped and removed from the monitor, but reappears at its next start time.

Update an Active Schedule

You cannot update the definition of a schedule while it is active. If you have to update an active schedule, you must stop it. To stop an active schedule, enter OFF beside it. You can then update its definition through the File Transfer Schedule List panel (panel path /RADMIN.R.FTSCHD).
