Fields: Monitor Status

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 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 the current status of the Entire Operations Monitor.
Last active at  Date and time of the 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 Global Monitor Wait Time defined in the Monitor Defaults.

Columns: Monitor Tasks

The columns in the Monitor tasks section of the Monitor Status window are explained in the following section.

Column Meaning
Task  Name of the Monitor (sub)task.

For further information, see also Task Name.

Status  Status of the (sub)task.

If the Monitor is executed on UNIX or Windows, the status text may be followed by the process ID of the Monitor task.

Example:

Active (PID 9174)
Started  Time at which the task was started.
Active  Time of the last activity.
Wait Time  Active Monitor task wait time.

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 the task start or from the last task reconfiguration.

The functions available in the Monitor Status window are explained in the following table:

Function Meaning
