Procedure documentationMonitoring the Status of Jobs

 

The job monitor allows you to track the status of all metrics of job monitoring objects, independently of the alert creation. For each active monitoring object, it provides a list of the key figure data for previous data collector runs. The application also displays the alerts that have been generated based on the defined threshold values.

The following metrics indicate the state of the monitored object:

  • Job status: Failed, Active, Cancelled, Released

  • Time metrics: not-started-on-time, start delay, end time, duration, out of time window

  • Range metrics: records processed, data packages processed, rows read

  • Job log messages

  • Job log content

  • Others: Parallel processing and Job active

From the job monitor, you can manually create incidents and notifications if the monitored object state needs to be notified to different levels of support.

The job monitor provides a reporting function that enables you to analyze the status and performance of a monitored object over a period of time. Data for reporting comes from the BW store. You can check the trend chart of the alert history of the monitored object to help you to analyze the job and take business-critical decisions.
