When the job net to be started upon a message event occurrence does not start even if the expected start time has passed, the job net status can be confirmed as a start delay using the monitoring window such as Gantt chart, or command for job net status. It is also possible to output a notification message to the event log or the SYSLOG.
Only for those job nets that have startup days specified and meet any of the following conditions, the start delay can be monitored.
For job nets that are awaiting using the AND criteria (start time AND message event)*, expected message events have never occurred even though the scheduled start time has arrived.
*: The Wait for startup time option is selected with message conditions.
For job nets in a group, the scheduled startup time has passed while awaited messages have never occurred.
For job nets for which the scheduled startup time has been defined by selecting the Start only when message event has occurred option, the scheduled startup time has passed while awaited message events have never occurred.
To output notification messages, make sure that the Notify when job net is not started even after the specified start time is lapsed check box is selected in Watching delay of job/job net of the Advanced Settings for Event Output window. For UNIX system, the message is notified in the user.warning level. Set the syslog.conf of the system so that the user.warning level messages are notified to the SYSLOG.
The startup delay can be defined using one of the following methods. The following describes how to define it.
Defining in the Standard information sheet of the Job Net Properties window
Figure 4.39 The Job Net Properties window - the Standard information sheet
Use this option to start a job net only once a day (from a day change time to the next day change time).
Specifies the scheduled start time.
Defining with the jobschsetnet command
The following describes how to define using the jobschsetnet command and how to display the already-defined job net.
Defining using the jobschsetnet command
To set to be executed once in a day, specify the msgonlymode operand in the job net control statement. To set the scheduled start time, specify the scheduled start time of the job net using the msgstarttime operand in the job net control statement.
Specify either a -nent operand or a -nche operand to execute the jobschsetnet command. Specify the file name with the job net control statement edited in Step 1 in the definition file.
For details on the jobschsetnet command and job net control statements, see the "Jobscheduler Commands" section of the Systemwalker Operation Manager Reference Guide.
Displaying the already-defined job net
The already-defined schedule start time of the job net can be displayed by specifying the -a (-A) or the -r option to the jobschprint command. If you set the -a (-A) option, the once in-a-day setting is displayed in MSG Mode, and if you set the scheduled start time, the time is displayed in Msg Start Time;. If you set the -r option, the once-in-a-day setting is displayed in msgonlymode, and the scheduled start time is displayed in msgstarttime.
For details on the jobschprint command, see the "Jobscheduler Commands" section of the Systemwalker Operation Manager Reference Guide.
Information
Even if Once in a day is selected, it is possible to start the job net several times a day by startup or restart operation.
The scheduled time can be set as follows for job nets with the execution condition of Start only when message event has occurred.
No scheduled time is displayed.
The date of the day (Scheduled time) is displayed when the job net has not started yet for the day, or the next startup date is (Scheduled time) displayed when the job net has already started for the day, both in the form of MM/DD/YYYY.
The date and time of the day (Scheduled time) are displayed when the job net has not started yet for the day, or the next startup date and time (Scheduled time) are displayed when the job net has already started for the day, both in the form of MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM.
By executing the reinstating operation for the job nets which has already executed for the day, the job nets, for which the execution condition is set to Start only when message event has occurred and Once in a day is specified, can wait for a message event again.
