Standard and wildcard SLC field descriptions

The following fields are used to define standard and wildcard SLCs.

Field Description
Allow Duplicates Check to allow IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor to monitor multiple Processes or batches with the same name.
All Schedules The list of schedules to choose from.
Concurrence Count (Wildcard SLC) For a wildcard SLC associated with a calendar schedule, the number of SLC instances expected to be seen during the scheduled time. For a wildcard SLC associated with a duration schedule, the number of instances of the SLC that may run at one time. The range is 1-100. Default is 1.
Data Visibility Groups The list of visibility groups to choose from.
Description Descriptive information to further identify the SLC.
End Window Tolerance The number of hours after the expected end of processing to stop monitoring. The default is 6 hours after the schedule requirements. The range is 0–24 hours.
Expression (Wildcard SLC) For wildcard SLCs, the regular expression or wildcard definition used in constructing matching criteria (against Processes/batch IDs, filenames, submitters/mailboxes, remote servers). This expression must follow RegEx or wildcard syntax. Regular expressions can be used to match text or numeric strings that follow a particular pattern. Special characters are allowed. To test the value you define in this field, click Test.
File Names A list of the destination file names of files copied by a Process. At least one entry among Process Names/Batch IDs, File Names, Submitters/Sender Mailbox IDs, and Remote Servers/Recipient Mailbox IDs is required.
Groups The server groups to choose from.
Name A unique name for the SLC.
Other: Enabled Click to enable the SLC.
Other: Generate notification if event has not occurred Check this option to generate notification of events (an alert) for an SLC when an event fails to occur. If this option is checked and one or more calendar schedules are associated with the SLC, events are generated when service-level criteria are not met. If it is unchecked, events (positive or negative) are generated only if the SLC criteria are met.

For example, you might create an SLC to monitor a Process that normally runs at 1pm on Fridays. If the process never runs on Friday, an SLC event would be generated only if this box is checked. If it is not checked, SLC events would be generated only if the Process ran (whether early, on time, or late).

Process Names/Batch IDs The Sterling Connect:Direct® Process names or Sterling Connect:Enterprise® batch IDs to monitor. At least one entry among Process Names/Batch IDs, File Names, Submitters/Sender Mailbox IDs, and Remote Servers/Recipient Mailbox IDs is required.
Selected Data Visibility Groups The data visibility group (chosen from Data Visibility Groups) that is associated with this SLC. Only one data visibility group can be selected for an SLC. Data visibility group restricted users must select a data visibility group when creating an SLC (their first Data Visibility Group is automatically selected). Only events applicable to the data visibility group specified will be processed by the SLC.
Selected Groups The server groups (chosen from Groups) that this SLC is to monitor. At least one server or server group is required.
Selected Schedules Schedule or schedules to apply to the SLC. At least one schedule is required.
Selected Servers The servers (chosen from Servers) that this SLC is to monitor. At least one server or server group is required.
Servers The list of servers to choose from.
Start Window Tolerance The number of hours before the expected start of processing to begin monitoring. The default is 6 hours before the schedule requirements. The range is 0–24 hours.
Submitters/Sender Mailbox IDs A list of submitters or sender mailbox IDs to monitor. At least one entry among Process Names/Batch IDs, File Names, Submitters/Sender Mailbox IDs, and Remote Servers/Recipient Mailbox IDs is required.
RegEx (Regular Expression) For wildcard SLCs, check to indicate that the referenced expression is a regular expression.
Remote Servers/Recipient Mailbox IDs A list of remote servers or recipient mailbox IDs to monitor. At least one entry among Process Names/Batch IDs, File Names, Submitters/Sender Mailbox IDs, and Remote Servers/Recipient Mailbox IDs is required.
