In Systemwalker Operation Manager, it is possible to monitor logged in users via the network or notify the users still being connected to a server via a network when the server is shut down. Also, the server shutdown can be delayed until the end-of-wait notification is issued. For example, issuing an end-of-wait notification command enables an automatic delay of the server shutdown based on how much delay is in the operation. In Systemwalker Operation Manager, this is called 'shutdown monitoring'. The following shows the flow of the server shutdown processing.
When operating batch power control, the controlling host is the destination of shutdown monitoring notification.
The following explains the shutdown monitoring options.
Procedure
Displaying the Completion Monitoring sheet in the Power Control Schedule dialog box
Select SYSTEM_CALENDAR from the Job Selection window of the Systemwalker Operation Manager window, then select Power Control Schedule from the Options menu.

Setting the Queuing Completion Notification Definition dialog box
In the Queuing Completion Notification Definition dialog box displayed by clicking the Completion Notification button in the Completion Monitoring dialog box, necessary settings can be made.
Figure 3.18 Queuing Completion Notification Definition dialog box
Displays a list of queuing completion notifications used as shutdown monitoring completion conditions.
To wait on a server which is a batch power control target, the queuing completion notification definition for all the target servers must be made on the controlling server. If a queuing completion notification command is issued on a target server, it is notified to the controlling server.
Setting the Popup Notification Destination Definition List dialog box /Popup Notification Destination Definition dialog box
In the Popup Notification Destination Definition List dialog box displayed by selecting the Popup as a notification method in Notify to operator when monitoring target is incomplete in the Completion Monitoring dialog box and clicking the Details button, necessary settings can be made.
If a connection is made to a server running V13.2.0 or earlier, the Popup Notification Destination Definition dialog box will be displayed instead.
Note that if a client running V13.2.0 or earlier connects to a server running V13.3.0 or later, the information displayed in the Popup Notification Destination Definition dialog box will be the first item of registered notification destination information (the first line of the Popup Notification Destination List in the Popup Notification Destination Definition List dialog box).
Figure 3.19 Setting the Popup Notification Destination Definition List dialog box
The Popup Notification Destination Definition displays a list of registered notification destinations.
Notification Destination:

Saving the definition
Click OK to save the definition.
Restart Systemwalker Operation Manager.
Restart Systemwalker Operation Manager to enable the settings.
Note
Make sure the commands and applications executed during the shutdown monitoring processing are the ones which complete in a short time.
If all of preset commands and applications are started, the shutdown process may start even when any of them are not completed. The process of commands and applications is interrupted if they are incomplete when the shutdown process has started.
However, you can use a batch file or others and control the startup of shutdown process by calling the completion notification command only after the command and application process has completed.
For details on the completion notification command, see the Systemwalker Operation Manager Reference Guide.
Note
In the UNIX system, if you have selected "Popup" as the "Notification Means" in the "Notify to operator when monitoring target is incomplete" option, you must make settings in the "Action Execution Host" tab of Systemwalker Centric Manager's Action Environment Setup(Advanced) dialog box.
When Mail is selected as Notification Means in the Notify to operator when monitoring target is incomplete, the following settings are also necessary.
It is necessary to set up Mail in the Action Environment Setup dialog box.
It is necessary to set Mail in the Action Environment Setup(Advanced) dialog box for Systemwalker Centric Manager. Additionally, if MS-mail is selected, it is also necessary to set Action Execution Host.
Note
To perform completion notification to the users by pop-up messages, the Messenger Service must be running on the notification destination computer and a user must be logged on to the target computer at the time.
If the notification destination computer is a Windows operating system, one of the following products (functions) must be installed:
Systemwalker Centric Manager
Client [Selected option: Action Execution (Audio Notification)]
Operation Management Client [Selected option: Action Execution (Audio Notification)]
Job Server
Section Management Server
Asset Management Server
Operation Management Server
Systemwalker Operation Manager
Client [Selected option: Action Execution (Audio Notification)]
Server
To perform notification when the power is turned off in the environment where completion notification cannot be made by pop-up messages, make it by means of E-mail.
Information
By using the completion notification command, a completion notification can be issued from fixed-form job operation applications such as the Jobscheduler. By defining the end-of-wait notification in the Queuing Completion Notification Definition dialog box, server shutdowns can be smoothly operated according to completion of batch jobs. This eliminates the necessity for the system administrator to wait for the job completion, and uninhabited operation during night time becomes possible.
For details on the Waiting Completion Notice command, see the Systemwalker Operation Manager Reference Guide.
