RE: Batch Monitoring Software

Vern,
You are correct. Once you get one of those monitoring packages going though, they can be addictive. Monitoring for almost anything on the system so you minimize surprises is a very cool thing.

LOL - that's an awfully big hammer to do what the OP wants, methinks!

<former Help Systems support person here>

Actually I think a program using a QUSLJOB API (list jobs - hope I got
the name right) - such a program could go out and look for batch jobs,
if the one they want isn't in the list, throw a message. Could be run
periodically.

Hi All,

We had an issue yesterday where one of the batch jobs did not restart

after we did an IPL. It was not actually diagnosed until a few of the users
called and complained that some of their processes were not running.

Can anyone recommend any software that will monitor for specific batch

jobs and if it is not online after a set period, will notify specific people
(either via email, text message, etc.).

Thanks.
Brian Piotrowski
