Control Center Operations Guide for VSE


Description of Monitor Options

Start the Monitor Kernel

You start the monitor kernel from the Monitor Menu. The Monitor Menu is invoked by selecting Option 09 Monitor Utilities from the Control Center Main Menu, and then Option 1. It is shown in Figure 34. You must have defined (Add a Monitor) at least one monitor in order to use this function. Once started, the monitor kernel runs until you execute the Stop Monitor command.

Stop the Monitor Kernel

Lets you end the execution of all active monitors, once monitors currently executing have been completed. When you stop the Monitor Kernel, you stop all the monitors.

List Monitors

Lists all the monitors defined for the specified database on your terminal. Figure 35 shows the monitors belonging to the SQLDBA database.

Add a Monitor

Lets you define a monitor, the first step in using one. You specify the database you want to monitor, the type of monitor, the frequency, and the start and stop times. You also define the threshold at which notification will occur.

Modify a Monitor

Lets you view the monitor definition information. You can choose to update the frequency, start and stop times, and the monitor thresholds, and to activate or deactivate a monitor.

Delete a Monitor

Lets you delete a monitor. To delete the SHOW LOG monitor from the SQLDBA database, for example, select Option 06. Next select Monitor 04 and press ENTER.

Note that you can press PF3 to cancel deleting the monitor.

Display a Monitor

Lets you view the definition of a monitor.

View Data

Lets you view the data the monitor has collected. With this option, you can analyze the output and watch for significant database use or trends.

Reset Data

Deletes all rows of data collected by the monitor from the associated monitor table. Data keeps accumulating until the monitor is reset.

Print Report

Generates a monitor report and places it directly on the VSE/POWER List queue. The monitor report includes all the data that the monitor has captured. To Print a Monitor Report, select Option 10 from the main Monitor Menu, together with the desired monitor ID.

The figure that follows is where you include appropriate job submission parameters. The RESET DATA? option keeps the data or deletes it from the related monitor table when the job executes. Specify "1" to refresh the table, or "2" to show cumulative data.
