Milestone field definitions

There are many fields pertaining to milestones in IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor.

The following table defines the fields that make up a milestone.
Field Description
Name A name for the milestone.
Description Text describing the milestone.
Key The selection criteria for this milestone, such as Process Name or Submitter ID.
Operator The operator for the selection criterion. Depending on the value you choose for Key, choose from:
  • Matches
  • Wildcard
  • RegEx
Value The value of the Key to set as the selection criterion.
Correlator Source The value IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor obtains and uses at runtime to correlate this individual milestone to other milestones in the workflow SLC. This will override the Correlator Source value set in the Workflow SLC for this milestone only.

Click Insert Var and then select the event element variable.

Note: If you use a correlator for an individual milestone, you must either specify a correlator for each milestone or one for the workflow SLC itself to use as a default correlator.
Minimum Duration The minimum amount of time the milestone item is expected to run, in the format hhh:mm:ss. Hours and minutes are required if you specify a value. Example: Type 1 hour and 15 minutes as 1:15. Type 20 minutes as 0:20. Type 15 seconds as 0:00:15.
Maximum Duration The maximum amount of time the milestone item is expected to run, in the format hhh:mm:ss. Hours and minutes are required if you specify a value. Example: Type 1 hour and 15 minutes as 1:15. Type 20 minutes as 0:20. Type 15 seconds as 0:00:15.
Normal Start Range: Start The beginning of a time range within which processing is expected to start for a milestone item. This time range is relative to the actual or scheduled start of the workflow. Expressed in 24-hour format. For example, enter 18 hours as 18:00 or 30 minutes as 0:30.
Normal Start Range: End The endpoint of a time range within which processing is expected to start for a milestone item. This time range is relative to the actual or scheduled start of the workflow. Expressed in 24-hour format. For example, enter 18 hours as 18:00 or 30 minutes as 0:30.

End Time cannot be the same as Start time. If the start time is later than the end time, the NSR spans two days.
Normal End Range: Start The beginning point of a time range within which processing is expected to end for a milestone item. This time range is relative to the actual or scheduled start of the workflow. Expressed in 24-hour format. For example, enter 18 hours as 18:00 or 30 minutes as 0:30.
Normal End Range: End The endpoint of a time range within which processing is expected to end for a milestone item. This time range is relative to the actual or scheduled start of the workflow. Expressed in 24-hour format. For example, enter 18 hours as 18:00 or 30 minutes as 0:30.

End time cannot be the same as Start time. If the start time is later than the end time, the NER spans two days.

Tip: Start range and end range times are relative to the scheduled or actual start of the workflow SLC, depending upon whether Milestone Times Relative to: Actual Start of Workflow SLC or Milestone Times Relative to: Scheduled Start of Workflow SLC is checked.
