Re: Urgent: How to monitor jobs for .....

Two products that work specifically in this area are Activ8 from ASNA and
AutoTune from Help Systems.  I also believe a good one to look at is Charlie the
Tuner from PAE.  I specifically use AutoTune and am actually pretty pleased with
it.  I have looked at Activ8 (after the fact) and am pretty impressed with it.
It looks more granular than AutoTune.  I don't know anything specifically about
Charlie except it's probably one of the originals and have heard it mentioned
previously.  I use AutoTune for memory pool management (I still think it does
better than OS/400) and abusive job control.  Overall I give them a B+.

I'm not sure if they will specifically handle your exceeding job time since I'm
not 100% sure what you are after.  For long running batch jobs we use a
different combination of tools and practices.  Personally, I don't cancel any
job automatically......I just either need to penalize it and/or notify me.....

Hello All,

Is there any way I can monitor jobs in the system for their possible CPU usage
times exceeding some limit, say, 70% and kill them if they exceed.
Moreover, the other job attributes such as elapsed time etc. also have to be
monitored.

Please send me the solutions at your earliest.

Thanks in advance.

Rajeev.
