The Entire Operations Monitor is the basic operational component Entire Operations requires to maintain job networks.
For details, see Entire Operations Monitor in the Concepts and Facilities documentation.
This document covers the following topics:
To view the status of the Entire Operations Monitor
In the object workspace, select the General node and choose Monitor Status from the context menu.
Or:
Use the direct command
STATUS
as described in the Direct Commands documentation.
If required, a Logon Node window prompts you to logon to the specified node (see Logon Function in the User's Guide).
Enter your credentials and choose OK.
A Monitor Status window similar to the example below opens:
If (in the Monitor Defaults) you have defined the Entire Operations Monitor to use several (sub-)tasks, you can view these tasks in the Monitor tasks section of the window.
The fields in the upper half of the window are explained in Fields: Entire Operations Monitor.
The columns in the Monitor tasks section of the window are explained in Column Headings: Monitor Tasks.
This section covers the following topics:
The fields in the upper half of the Monitor Status window are explained in the following table:
| Field | Meaning | |
|---|---|---|
| Task Name | Name of the Monitor main task.
The syntax (explained in

{task-prefix}{task-number} Example:
If the task prefix is 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. When you start the Monitor, the value is taken from the Monitor Wait Time defined in Monitor Defaults. | |
| Function | Meaning | |
|---|---|---|
| Start Monitor | Start the 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. |
|
| Stop Monitor | Shut down the Monitor. No data is lost. | |
| Auto Refresh | Switch on/off automatic refresh
of the Monitor tasks list after a specified time interval.

Meaning of the column headings:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Task | Name of Monitor (sub-)task. For further information, see also Task Names. |

| Started | Time the task was started. |
| Active | Time of last activity. |
| Wait Time | The active monitor task wait
times. This value is modifiable. It can be defined individually for each monitor task. Values changed here are in effect for the current monitor session only. The value Global Monitor Wait Time from the Monitor Defaults will be used if no value is specified here. For details, see Monitor Defaults. The default wait time modification (for all monitor sessions) is described in Fields: Monitor Defaults - Monitor Task Profile. |
| Usage | Percentage of task activity within real time, calculated from task start or from the last task reconfiguration. |
