Configuring the heartbeat checking interval for z-centric agents and dynamic domain managers
You can configure the HCL Workload Automation for Z controller to check at intervals if all or specific attached z-centric agents and dynamic domain managers are running. Without the use of this mechanism the controller does not register, until the next job submission occurs, that a workstation has become unavailable. This may impact your scheduling plans.
- HTTPOPTS
- The value for PULSEIVL is valid globally for all the attached z-centric agents and dynamic domain managers.
- ROUTOPTS
- PULSEIVL is featured as a parameter in the
HTTP/HTTPS destination
keyword and in this case defines the heartbeat checking interval of the specific agent defined in the destination. This option is useful when heartbeat checking is wanted only on the more strategic agents or when a different checking frequency is desired.The pulse interval of a destination can be updated using the
HTTP refresh destination
command without having to stop the controller.
The value is expressed in minutes and can range from zero (no heartbeat checking is run) to 1440.

sets a heartbeat checking interval of 60 minutes for all z-centric
agents and dynamic domain managers,
but for DDM1 the interval is set to 5 minutes.
