TWS/Graph – The PC Client

Netplans The basic task of TWS/Graph are netplans for Applications and Operations Operation netplan Application netplan

Application Netplan Application netplan are good for overviews. Each “node” stands for an application, each “link” for an external dependency. External dependency Application

Operation Netplan Operation netplans are good to display detailed information. “Node” are operations, and “links” are internal or external dependencies. Job external dependency internal dependency different symbols for different workstations

Barcharts are displaying the planned and actual start- and end times. Job Planned time Actual start time

TWS/Graph works offline or online.

Statusmonitor Error!

Is it possible to monitor a whole production? Is it possible to monitor the whole production? Is it possible to monitor a whole production? Technically yes, but… 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Monitor complete Production? The problem: In most environments it is simply impossible to monitor the whole prolduction!

Monitor the Critical Path! The solution: Monitor critical jobs, and not the whole production!

How to monitor the Critical Path Create a structure that shows critical applications or operations

Specify Selection Criteria …use TWS selection criteria to specify what should be monitored…

Starting the Monitor ..and start the monitor.

The monitor is up and running Something got an error!

Displaying Errors Expand the tree to see which job abended

Displaying Errors This job abended!

How to get more Information Right mouseclick to get more information…

Displaying a Job Netplan Here is the job that caused the error!

Displaying Operation Details All Operation details are available!

How to monitor late jobs ? It is easy to monitor jobs and react on abends… But it is difficult to monitor if a job will be completed in time !

How to monitor late jobs The jobs is „late“, if it is not complete until 18:00

How to monitor late jobs These job(s) are „late“, if they are not complete until 18:00. 06:00 (=IA) + 12:00 h. = 18:00

“Late” Monitor is up and running

“Late” Monitor is up and running The top level is still red, because ERROR has higher priority than LATE (priority can be changed) Jobs are "late"

HTML files In addition to the treechart all information is presented in HTML files. Benefits are: End user needs no host connection End user can access status information from anywhere Example

HTML Files - Technical Overview PIF TWS CP1 CP2 TWS/Graph Server Reads HTML files from the WebServer Status information Status request One dedicated TWS/Graph PC Client User with Web Browser

Alerts Job “ABC” is in error: Send an e-mail to PAUL@ATHOME.COM TWS/Graph is able to call external programs. That option can be used to generate messages in case of TWS related events. Examples: Job “ABC” is in error: Send an e-mail to PAUL@ATHOME.COM Now it is 15:00, and CICS is not up: Generate a problem record

Alerts TWS/Graph has an integrated REXX interface. Parameters like the jobname or the status can be passed as a parameter to a program. Create Message Send Email

TWS/Graph Statusmonitor Let us summarize the benefits of TWS/Graph's integrated Status Monitor: Easy to install Allows to monitor deadlines No system modifications needed (exits etc.) Allows to select exactly what should be monitored by using TWS fields, e.g. the input arrival time All jobs controlled by TWS can be monitored, z/OS as well as End2End jobs

Is it possible to monitor a whole production? Do you have any question about TWS/Graph? Is it possible to monitor a whole production? No Yes End 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

What is TWS/Graph Host? TWS/Graph Host are ISPF programs in addition to the PC client: TWS/XRef, a cross reference for the AD TWS/Forecast, a forecast function for the CP TWS Loop Analysis

What is TWS/XRef ? TWS/XRef is an ISPF program to create cross references out of your AD including: User defined reports Search for Applications, Run-Cycles, Operations, Pred, Succ, SR... Use wildcards “*” and “%” Use operators AND, OR, GT, LT, EQ...

TWS/XRef - Query Examples Typical question answered by TWS/XRef are: Which operations are using special resource "A.B.C" or "X.Y.Z"? Which applications are using calendars other than "DEFAULT"? Which applications have period "WEEKLY" and offset "+001" or use calendar "SPECIAL"?

Forecast The forecast is useful to analyse special planning periods, e.g. "end of month" or "end of year" Create netplans for any day in the future Database is the existing LTP or a temporary LTP Needs no test - TWS!
