Panel 8 input fields
- Job Active (Y/N)
- Specify Y to indicate the job is active and the measurement is
to begin immediately. Specify N to indicate that the job is pending
(a batch job) and Application Performance Analyzer is
to wait for its execution.
If you have specified a recurring schedule for the measurement, then this field indicates the expected status of the job at the time the measurement is scheduled.
- Expire after
- This applies to a schedule of recurring measurements for a job that is not expected to be active at scheduling time (a batch job). It specifies the length of the interval during which Application Performance Analyzer is to check for the job before expiring the schedule item. Specify the length of the interval in minutes.
- Times to Repeat
- This applies to measurement of a job that is not
active (pending). Known as the RUNAGAIN count, it specifies the number
of times the measurement is to be repeated if the job is rerun. This
can be used as an alternative to specifying a schedule on panel 7
if the exact date and time of each run is not known.
Optionally, a time interval can be specified, within which the job must run to be measured again. Use this to ensure that a good measurement is captured in the event that the job is cancelled or abends and is then rerun. If you have specified a schedule in panel 7, then you must provide a time interval for the repeat measurements.
- Within Interval
- This
applies to measurement of a job that is not active (pending). Specify
the interval the Application Performance Analyzer started
task is to check for reruns of the job. Use this to ensure that a
good measurement is captured in the event that the job is cancelled
or abends and is then rerun. If you have specified
a schedule in panel 7, then you must provide a time interval for the
repeat measurements.
In the case of a single occurrence of a batch job, use this when the exact time the job will be executed is unknown or varies. Measurements that have a future schedule associated with the job will accommodate an interval of up to 999 minutes only. Measurements for a single occurrence of a job (i.e., no future schedule) will accommodate an interval of either 999 minutes, 22 days or 3 weeks.
- Times to Retry
- This applies to a schedule of recurring measurements for a job that is expected to be active at the time the measurement is scheduled. Indicate the number of times Application Performance Analyzer is to check again for the job in the event that it was not active. The 'Retry Interval' field specifies the interval between retries.
- Retry Interval
- This applies to a schedule of recurring measurements for a job that is expected to be active at the time the measurement is scheduled. It specifies an action to be taken if the job is not active at the schedule time. Indicate the interval between each check for the job being active. The 'Number of Times to Retry' field specifies how many times the retry is to occur.
