Identifying jobs for monitoring

In order to monitor a job using Tivoli® Business Systems Manager, set the EXTERNAL MONITOR job option of an operation to YES. This option is modifiable in the application description database and in the current plan. You can use any of the following to set or browse the option:
  • ISPF panels
  • The Scheduler programming interface
  • Dynamic Workload Console
By default, jobs are not monitored by Tivoli® Business Systems Manager.

The EXTERNAL MONITOR job option of an operation can also be automatically set to YES. This is done by establishing a monitoring policy with the MONPOL initialization statement. .
