## Process Control and Monitoring Functions

Entire Operations provides several features to control and monitor network processing.

This section covers the following topics:

- Logging

- Reporting

- Diagram Function for Network Control

### Logging

Entire Operations provides a log file which records every event during network processing. It also records all manual changes to active jobs, such as JCL corrections or updates of symbol tables. This information is available online and can be used for reporting and statistical purposes.

The log information can be selected according to job network and job, as well as according to dates and times, or even users. The log reports can also be exported into a sequential file, thus providing the opportunity for further analysis with any other tool and according to any criteria.

### Reporting

Entire Operations provides reports with system information useful for keeping track of operations, for making scheduling decisions or even for planning future production cycles.

The reports cover the following:

- Information on all jobs, selectable according to terminated jobs, abended jobs and jobs which have not been started. Date ranges and network names can be specified to further narrow selection down. Reports on all jobs include all events, activation time, messages, termination status etc. All job reports are sorted according to log time.

- Network information, selectable according to whether a short overview is required or a longer report that includes detailed information on network components. In all network reports, information is provided on network and job definition, all input conditions and resources, as well as End-of-Job handling, including output conditions. The more detailed reporting option additionally displays all text descriptions available on the network, job and event level.

- Schedule overview of selected or all networks, consisting of a list of jobs to be scheduled within a specified range of dates. This can either be done for time ranges belonging to the past to get a list of all unsatisfied network activations or you can request the Network schedule overview for future production periods to get information for forecasting and planning purposes.

- Cross-reference information on the use of Entire Operations objects.

All reports can be viewed online and printed or stored for archiving purposes.

Using Entire Operations import/export functions, the contents of the master database can be unloaded to a sequential file, too. This feature is intended for migration and transport purposes, but you can also use it to build up your own reporting system.
