The following diagram shows the flow of the basic design tasks for installing Systemwalker Operation Manager.
Designing the system
Determine how to design the Systemwalker Operation Manager system.
Determine what kind of system configuration to adopt, depending on the mode of operation. Also, consider which operating system to use, and what software and hardware is required.
This document mainly focuses on designing business operations. Consider the following reference for information on how to design the system.
Reference: "Chapter 2 Overview of System Design" |
Designing business operations
Determine how to design the business operations.
Determine the operations for the schedule servers and the execution servers where Systemwalker Operation Manager will be installed.
To turn the power to servers on and off, and reboot the system automatically, determine the power schedule, power-up and power-down control method, and holiday settings for the SYSTEM_CALENDAR.
There is no need to consider these items if power schedules are not to be used.
Reference: "Chapter 3 Determining Power Schedules" |
Identify which business operations are to be automated, and determine what kind of job to create in each case. A "job" is the smallest unit of processing.
Then, determine how to group related jobs, and decide the execution order for the jobs within these groups. The flow of related jobs is referred to as a "job net".
Reference: "Chapter 4 Determining How to Create Jobs and Job Nets" |
Determine how to run jobs and job nets. In other words, determine the business operation schedule.
Jobs are basically run as part of job nets. For each job net, determine the startup days and execution conditions that determine the time for starting the job net.
Also, in relation to setting up startup schedules, determine the day change time for the system, and holiday calendars for job nets.
Jobs that are executed individually are managed separately as "demand jobs".
Reference: "Chapter 5 Determining How to Start Jobs and Job Nets" |
Determine the execution environment for jobs, such as where to create the execution servers that execute jobs, and the queues where waiting jobs are managed.
Reference: "Chapter 6 Designing the Job Execution Environment" |
Determining how to operate
Determine how to monitor the automated business operations when a production run has started. At the same time, also determine what kind of countermeasures to take in the unlikely event that a fault occurs.
Reference: "Chapter 7 Determining the Monitoring Method" |
