TWS/Graph Status Monitor
This presentation shows you four examples how to
use the monitor:
• Create job lists
• Monitor milestones
• Generate tickets (BMW)
• Monitor if production is late (Caja Madrid)

Example 1: Create Lists
The first example shows how
create easily job lists with the
monitor

TWS/Graph
Create HTML Lists
This (simple) example shows you how to create a
homepage that meets following requirements:
• List all jobs that are waiting
• List all jobs that are active
• List all jobs that are complete
• List all jobs that are in error

Example 2: Milestones
The second example shows how
to use milestones to monitor
production
HORIZONT
19
TWS/Graph
Milestones
Probably the best way to monitor the
Critical Path is to insert “milestones”

TWS/Graph
Create Dummy Workstation
1. Create a dedicated
dummy workstation to
be used only for
monitoring

2. Create “milestones”

“important” jobs…

Production with Milestones
4. Milestones are now inserted
into production (without any
functional effect to TWS)

5. The status monitor of
TWS/graph needs only
one object

7. The resulting list

…or not: Status L(ate)
HORIZONT
27
TWS/Graph
Pros and Cons
We think Milestones is the best method to monitor
thousands of jobs:
+ Simply to use
+ Excellent performance
(TWS/Graph must monitor only the milestones, and not the
whole stuff)
+ If there is a known delay to the start of batch by,
say 2 hours, you only need to change the 'late time'
field to '02:00' in the status monitor definition
- Milestones must be maintained

Example 3: BMW
The third example shows
how BMW uses the monitor.
BMW has its headquarter in Munich.
BMW is using TWS/Graph, TWS/Audit,
TWSBatchAD, TWSBatchCP, SmartJCL
and XINFO.

TWS/Graph
Initial Situation
• Some critical jobs where checked manually
• No checks between 00:00 and 05:00
• Tickets where created manually
HORIZONT
30
TWS/Graph
Target
• Generate Alerts and Tickets automatically
- For Error Jobs
- For Late Jobs
• Generate Status Information
- For the programmers who are responsible for the tickets
- For non IT-departments

File Export to TWS/Graph
In the actual test installation TWS/Graph Web
exports monitor definitions to TWS/Graph Client
MONITOR.LST

TWS/Graph
Refresh Rate
The refresh rate is 5 minutes.
One “refresh“ takes 3-4 seconds
and requires 0,1 CPU seconds.

35
TWS/Graph
HTML Status Information via Intranet
The HTML directory is shared,
anybody (who is authorised) can
view the files
Department names are used as
entry points

36
TWS/Graph
Alerts and Tickets
In case of Error- or Late jobs a
Perl script is started
HORIZONT
37
TWS/Graph
Perl Script
1. TWS/Graph passes TWS, TEC, and
remedy Parameters to the script
2. The Script generates and sends
Command „postemsg“ to the TEC

Example 4: Caja Madrid
The fourth example shows
how Caja Madrid uses
TWS/Graph.
Caja Madrid is a Spanish bank, the
headquater is in Madrid.
Caja Madrid is using TWS/Graph,
SmartJCL and XINFO.
HORIZONT
41
TWS/Graph
Initial Situation
• Tickets are generated automatically
(EQQUX007)
• They have few but important key
applications
• The Batch Window is too small
• Operating is not able to see possible delays
in time
HORIZONT
42
TWS/Graph
Target
Operating needs early warnings when a
critical job will probably not end in time

TWS/Graph
Technical Overview
Based on Caja Madrid’s requirements,
HORIZONT developed a monitor concept:
• Only critical end jobs must be defined to TWS/Graph
• TWS calculates Planned Duration for every job while
extending the Current Plan
• TWS/Graph searches all predecessors of the critical jobs
• TWS/Graph uses the Planned Duration to find the critical
path for every critical job
• TWS/Graph calculates the estimated execution time of every
critical path and shows the remaining buffer time

TWS/Graph
Some figures
Even we where concerned about performance,
but the result was better than expected:
• 6 critical jobs are monitored
• Refresh-Rate is 1 hour
• Runtime (one Monitor for 6 Jobs)
- 18 Minutes right after “Begin of production”
- 10 Minutes just before “End of production”
• Runtime (6 Monitors parallel)
- Each monitor requires 5 down to 2.5 minutes

Benefits of TWS/Graph Status Monitor
Let us summarize the benefits of
TWS/Graph’s integrated Status Monitor:
• Easy to install
(no installation if you have TWS/Graph)
• Different targets can be addressed
(Lists, Tickets, Late)
• No system modifications needed (Exits etc.)
• All jobs controlled by TWS can be monitored,
z/OS as well as End2End jobs

• Create job lists
• Monitor milestones
• Generate tickets (BMW)
• Monitor if production is late (Caja Madrid)
