Create a View Using VMC

In Monitoring, you can use existing scheduling objects in the database to define a view. The command language used in the View Management Console is modeled on the CA Workload Automation AE JIL language. JIL uses a command and a set of attributes for that particular command to comprise the complete definition. You can use the View Management Console to create one or more views.

Follow these steps:

1. Click VMC.

   The View Management Console dialog opens with the available commands and command attributes listed in their respective panes.

2. Click the insert_view command in the View Commands pane.

   An insert_view template is added to the Commands pane.

3. Edit the template view definition as appropriate.

   Notes:

   • Clicking a command link populates the Commands section with the command.
   • At least one filter must be defined to create a usable view.
   • View names can contain up to 80 characters; valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, underscore (_), and hyphen (-). View names with embedded spaces must be enclosed in single quotes. View names cannot include any of the following: #, $, %, *, ., ?, or @.
4. Click Execute.

   CA WCC verifies the validity of the view definition. If the validity check encounters problems, a message is displayed describing the error. If the validity check succeeds, the commands are executed and the view is created.

5. Click Close.

   The View Management Console dialog closes.

Example: Create the View PayrollView

When executed, the following command creates a view with the name PayrollView, The view includes jobs on ServerAE1 beginning with payroll and belonging to the Pay application:

insert_view: PayrollView
job_columns: job_name,status,server,run_machine,status_time
alert_columns: alert,severity,status,job,server,status_time,create_time
description: 'this view contains the payroll jobs'

insert_filter: ServerAE1
view: PayrollView
filter:(application LIKE PAY AND job_name LIKE Payroll*)
active: true
