The Process Orchestration and Monitoring application is a user interface for scheduling, tracking and managing, both nightly as well as intraday batch jobs.
The Batch Monitoring window provides a runtime view of the statuses and dependencies with regard to the different batch cycles running on the current business day.
To access the Batch Monitoring window from the Tasks menu, select Batch Monitoring. The Batch Monitoring window appears.
The Batch Monitoring window contains the following sections.
In the Header section select the monitoring cycle you want to view. The Monitoring Cycle field lists all batch cycles configured for a business day, including the Nightly batch cycle and the Adhoc cycle. When you choose a monitoring cycle the window shows the results specific to the selected cycle. When you open the window, the monitoring cycle defaults to the current or last run cycle for the current business day.
The screen can be set to auto refresh periodically by selecting the pre-defined interval from the Auto Refresh list. By default, this value is set to None on page load which means the Auto Refresh is turned off.
The Header section also contains a Run Status area, displaying the current business date, the current time, the start time of the selected cycle and the expected end time of the selected cycle, if the cycle has not yet been completed, or the actual end time, if the cycle has already been completed. Use the Calculate icon to calculate the expected end time.
In addition, the Run Status area shows a chart summary of the status of the different batches that are included in the selected cycle. The possible statuses are listed below:
Pending
Completed
Hold
Skipped
Running
Failed
Disabled
System Held
Skipped on Error
The chart also shows the actual number of batch jobs in each of the status bins listed above.
The Exceptions section lists all jobs that have failed, are on hold, long running or have been forced to be completed in the current day's run.
The table displays the following columns by default:
