6.3 Monitoring Demand Jobs

The execution status of demand jobs submitted under Job in the Job Selection window of the Systemwalker Operation Manager window is displayed in the View Job Status/Operate window. The View Job Status/Operate window displays a list of jobs including scheduled jobs. Detailed information on any of these jobs are displayed in the View Job Details dialog box.

Procedure

Displaying the View Job Status/Operate window
Select Jobs from the Job Selection window of the Systemwalker Operation Manager window. The View Job Status/Operate window will appear in the main window.
Note
If you use the Systemwalker User Management function to log in as a Systemwalker user, and then select Job or Queue from the Job Selection window, the Enter Password of Connected Host window will be displayed in order to specify the OS user that will use either the View Job Status/Operate window or the View Queue Status/Operate window.
Use this window to specify the user ID and password for the user (OS user) that will access the job or queue information, and then click the OK button. If neither the View Queue Status/Operate window nor the View Queue Status/Operate window is to be used, click the Cancel button in the Enter Password of Connected Host window. Note that even if the OS user specified in the Enter Password of Connected Host window is an administrator, this user will only have general user privileges for monitoring and operating on jobs and queues in the View Job Status/Operate window or the View Queue Status/Operate window. Also, once the user ID and password for an OS user has been specified, these details will be reused in the View Job Status/Operate window or the View Queue Status/Operate window until the client logs out.

In addition to the information on the specified Operation Manager user, the job information of all Operation Manager users associated with this OS user is listed.
