End of Day rules

To monitor whether the EndOfDay process starts by 6:00 p.m. (18:00), the bank disabled all of the built-in SLC rules and created two End of Day rules.

End of Day - Not Started rule

The bank also created an “End of Day - Not Started” rule that provides the following instructions for IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor:

A CSLC034E message means that a Process did not start by NSRe on any of the servers in the CD3 server group. When a CSLC034E message is generated because the EndOfDay process does not start by 18:00:
  • A high-severity alert is generated in the Active Alerts Monitor
  • An email sent to the administrator responsible for the CD3 server group

They defined the following information for the rule. (They created the action for the rule as they were defining the rule.)

End of Day - Late Start rule

They bank also created an “End of Day - Late Start” rule that provides the following instructions for IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor:

A CSLC035E message means that a Process is started after NSRe on any of the servers in the CD3 server group. When a CSLC035E is generated because the EndOfDay process starts late:
  • Send an email to the administrator of the CD3 server group
  • No alert is generated, and all alerts that are generated for that SLC are deleted.
