apsware emon supports monitoring and operation of all supported versions of IBM Workload Scheduler (IWS), including the IBM z Workload Scheduler (IWSz) version 9.5.
We have enhanced apsware emon 5.5 in the following areas:
- The event type selection for monitoring IWS now supports the selection of multiple event types in one selection, e.g. jobs in error, jobs with a long duration, jobs which have missed a milestone (SLA), jobs in manual hold, jobs waiting for special resource, etc.
- New user function in the apsware emon working screen to display (LOG=OFF) or hide (LOG=ON) events, which have have been logged by the user.
- apsware emon monitoring filters can now be unloaded and loaded to and from a sequential file.
- The message text defined for a group milestone can now be used in email notifications via the variable &NMESSAGE.
- An option to force the apsware emon tracker to stay active, even if the IWS for z/OS Current Plan does not exist.
- An option to allocate backup files(s) for program APSTDSP to save and restore not yet processed events.
We recommend upgrading to this new version as soon as possible.
