Job Status
The Job Status check provides the ability to check and report if a
particular job is present on the system and in a pre-defined state.
* To see a list of the jobs currently being checked, press OTHER
KEYS F7 and LIST F2.
* To add a job to the list, complete the screen form and press ADD
F2.
* To modify an entry in the list, first get the entry by typing the
job name and pressing GET F5 . Change the details on the screen
and then press MODIFY F6.
* To delete a job from the list, get the entry concerned by typing
the job name and pressing GET F5. Then press DELETE F3.
The fields on the screen are:
Job Name
This is the name of the Job to be checked and must be in the format:
[JOBNAME,]USER.ACCOUNT
The JOBNAME, USER and ACCOUNT must be alphanumeric and start with a
letter. JOBNAME is optional but recommended. An example of a job name
is SUPRVISR,MGR.HPOFFICE.
Jobs do not have to be related to HP DeskManager. For example, if
you use the third-party product UNISPOOL, you could check that
SPOOL,UNISPOOL.SYS is executing.
Status
A single digit code representing the status which you expect the job to
be in when DeskMon checks for it:
0 = EXECuting.
1 = WAITing to be launched.
2 = SUSPended.
3 = INTROduced just a few moments ago.
Check
If you want DeskMon to check on the status of this job, type Y. If you do
not want DeskMon to check on the status of this job, type N.
Report to
The Report Category to which you want DeskMon to report when it finds
this job in a different state to that which you expected.
An error message is generated and sent to the specified Report Category
if:
* The job is not found on the system; or
* The job is not in the expected state.
