Fields: Entire Operations Monitor

Meaning of the fields:

Field Meaning
Action  One-character command input field. Possible options:
Start Monitor
Delay before a monitor restart:
Any monitor restart which will be performed earlier than monitor termination time plus three (3) times the monitor wait time is assumed to be a duplicate monitor (task) start.
Avoid to restart the monitor within this time interval.
Shut down Monitor.
No data is lost. If you are working in z/OS, you can also shut down the Monitor from the operator console by entering the command SHUTDOWN SYSEOR.
OpSys Server  Entire System Server internal task name under which Entire Operations Monitor is running.
Task Name Name of the Monitor main task. The syntax (explained in Direct Command Syntax) is as follows:
{task-prefix}{task-number}
Example:

If the task prefix is E01 and the task number is 1, the subtask name will be displayed as E0101.

For further information, see also Monitor Task Prefix.

Status  Protected field showing current status of the Entire Operations Monitor.
Last active at  Date and time of last Monitor activity. See also Date and Time Formats in the User's Guide.
Wait Time  Interval between Entire Operations Monitor working cycles in seconds. You can modify the Monitor task wait times of the current monitor session individually in the Tasks screen (accessible with PF9). When you start the Monitor, the value is taken from the Monitor Wait Time defined in Monitor Defaults.

Special PF Key: Entire Operations Monitor

Key Name Function
PF9  Tasks  Displays the Monitor Tasks list. See Display Monitor Task Status.

Controlling the Monitor Status from a Mainframe Console

If the Entire Operations Monitor is executing on a mainframe, it is possible to check the Monitor status by an operator command to the Monitor node (Entire System Server).

The command is STATUS NOP.

The output of this command is a status line for each Monitor task.

This feature is available with Entire System Server Version 3.4.1 or above.

Refer to the Entire System Server documentation.

Display Monitor Task Status

If (in the Monitor Defaults) you have defined the Entire Operations Monitor to use several (sub-)tasks, you can display the task status by pressing PF9 (Tasks). The following screen appears:

04.11.08               ***** Entire Operations *****                 13:47:01
