JobFlow Monitor

Jobflow Monitor (JFM) provides an ongoing current and forecasted view of the CA Workload Automation SE workload. Jobflow Monitor uses CA7LOG events that CA Workload Automation SE generates to track the flow and status of the workload.

Jobflow Monitor addresses the need for the CA Workload Automation SE critical path monitoring to incorporate job and data set dependencies into the calculation of possible paths. When a CA Workload Automation SE FLOW is initiated, CA CPM can optionally interface with Jobflow Monitor to get the list of jobs, both triggers and dependencies, which determine the critical path. Jobflow Monitor issues the CAIENF events to CA CPM as these jobs start and stop execution.

To reduce overhead in the CA Workload Automation SE address space, Jobflow Monitor executes in its own address space. Jobflow Monitor can monitor multiple instances of CA Workload Automation SE in the same JFM address space. Jobflow Monitor must execute on the same z/OS image as the CA Workload Automation SE instances that it is monitoring.

Requests for Jobflow Monitor data are through XML documents and TCP/IP.
