Setting criteria
to intercept jobs and relaunch them.
To set the criteria that defines which SAP jobs to intercept and relaunch with the
BC-XBP 3.0 interface using the Dynamic Workload Console,
perform the following steps:
-
In the Navigation bar at the top, click .
- In Workstation name,
type the name of the workstation where the SAP job
runs. This is the workstation with the r3batch access method that
communicates with the remote SAP system.
If you do not know the name of the workstation, click the Lookup
Workstations icon to enter your filter criteria and click Search.
If you enter a string representing part of the workstation name, it
must be followed by the asterisk (*) wildcard character. Both the
question mark (?) and asterisk (*) are supported as wildcards. You
can also simply use the asterisk wildcard character (*) to display
all workstations. Optionally, specify any of the other search criteria
available and click Search.
From
the results displayed, select the workstation and click OK.
- From the Criteria Manager main view, click New to
create a criteria profile.
- Select Interception as the
type
of criteria profile you want to create.
-
Enter descriptive text that enables you to easily identify the criteria profile in the
table of criteria profiles. Avoid using special characters such as, <(less than), > (greater
than), or the ' (apostrophe) in this field.
- Click Save.
The
criteria profile is displayed in the list of criteria profiles and
it is not yet active.
- On the Details tab
in the upper-right
pane, define the criteria that intercepted jobs must match. For example,
to intercept jobs with a job name beginning with "ICP", specify the
following criteria:
- Click to define a new criterion.
- In Description,
type Criterion
1.
- In JOB NAME,
click to specify the value for the JOB NAME
field.
- Leave the default value Select to
indicate to use the selection criterion specified when intercepting
jobs.
- In Options,
select Pattern and
in Single Value or Lower Limit, type ICP*.
This sets the condition for the job name.
- Click Save to save
the criterion
definition.
- Define the
criteria that must be matched to relaunch intercepted
jobs. Click the Job Relaunch Criteria tab.
- Click to
define a new
criteria that determines which jobs are relaunched.
-
In Client, specify the client workstation of the SAP job.
-
In Job Name, specify a filter to match a set of SAP jobs. Use the asterisk (*) wildcard
character to match a set of jobs.
-
In Job Creator, specify a filter to match a set of SAP job creator. Use the asterisk (*)
wildcard character to match a set of jobs.
-
Optionally, in Job Template, specify the template file that contains
instructions for the interception collector about how to run the intercepted SAP job under control of IBM Workload Scheduler. For more information about template
files, see Using template files.
-
In Job Class, specify the class
assigned to the job that represents the priority with which the job
runs on the SAP system.
- Click OK.
- You can continue to define more criteria and then
save
the criteria profile.
- When you are done defining
the criteria, save the criteria
profile.
- Select the criteria profile and then
click Activate from
the toolbar.
The status
of the criteria profile is updated to show that
it is now active. The criteria profile can now begin to intercept
jobs according to the specifications of the criteria hierarchy and
relaunch them as defined in the IBM Workload Scheduler job.
If another criteria profile of the same criteria type was active,
its status changes to inactive.
