Active Environment (Status) Screen: Online Tracking and Control Facility

The Online Tracking and Control facility is accessed through option 3 of the IOA Primary Option menu. It is the main user interface to the monitoring of the jobs scheduled for the day. This facility consists of a number of screens, each providing the user with relevant information and options.

The main screen of this facility is the Active Environment screen. (Prior to version 6.0.00, this screen, which displays the status of each job order in the Active Jobs file, was referred to as the Status screen.) All screens and windows available in the Online Tracking and Control facility are accessed through the Active Environment screen. In the Online Tracking and Control facility, you can perform the following functions:

• view the status of each job order in the Active Jobs file
• place a job in HELD status or free a HELD job
• delete a job order
• obtain a statistical overview of the status of jobs in the Active Environment screen
• see why a job in the Active Jobs file has not been submitted. If job submission is held up due to missing prerequisite conditions, you can optionally add those conditions manually
• display the Log file of a job to view all messages issued for the job
• zoom in on the parameters of a job order

  This includes not only the job scheduling definition parameters, but also parameters determined by the Control-M monitor at runtime. Manual update of some of these parameters for the job order is permitted.

• view the documentation of a job
• add notes to a job, for example, to document actions that were taken
• confirm the scheduling, rerun, or restart (if Control-M/Restart is active), of a job that has been defined as requiring manual confirmation
• §Restart§ view the execution history of all orders of a job, and view the job order sysouts
• view the accumulated statistics of job executions
• view the list of job dependencies for a specific job, that is, the predecessor and successor jobs of the selected job, and perform manual job flow adjustment, such as priority adjustment

You can filter which jobs in the Active Jobs file are displayed in the Active Environment screen.
