Working Object databases are scanned periodically by Control-O/COSMOS to determine if specified objects are in their desired statuses. When Control-O/COSMOS is activated, rows containing object-related information are copied from the Source Object Databases to Working Object databases.
Most columns in Working Object databases contain information copied from the Source Object databases. However, certain additional columns are added for information required for ongoing Control-O/COSMOS operations.
Each Working Object database must contain all columns in the Source Object database except for ATIPL and NOTIPL. In addition, the following columns must appear in the Working Object database:
Table 14 Working Object Database – Column Descriptions
Column |
Description |
---|---|
CURRENT |
Current status of the object. |
DESIRED |
Desired status of the object. The value inserted in this field can be copied from a specific Source Object database column (ATIPL, NOTIPL or DESIRED) or it can be set according to a global preference, depending on the option chosen when Control-O/COSMOS is started. |
STATUS |
Text created by Control-O/COSMOS with object-related information. |
LASTCHNG |
Name of the Control-O/COSMOS rule that last changed object status or mode. |
OPSYSID |
ID assigned by the operating system to the current run of the object (for example, job ID of the started task). |
RETRIES |
Number of times a Control-O/COSMOS action has been attempted unsuccessfully (meaning, the number of unsuccessful attempts made to change the current status of the object since the last time its status was changed). |
NUMOFCHG |
Number of times the status of the object changed since Control-O/COSMOS was activated. |
For started task objects, it is recommended that the following columns be included:
Table 15 Started Task Objects – Columns
Column |
Description |
---|---|
REPLYID |
Last reply ID. |
COMMCHAR |
Command character (when necessary to issue operator commands to the started task). |
