Siemens SM2 monitoring system, U3585-J-Z125-8-76 1 manual Task

TASK SM2 monitoring programs

SM2 does not check whether an ISAM pool exists when a user tries to include it; in other words an ISAM pool can be included in the monitoring process even before it has been created. If an ISAM pool which has been included does not exist during the monitoring cycle, all its monitored data will be listed with blanks. Since the total number of ISAM pools that can be monitored by SM2 for nonprivileged users is limited to 16, care must be taken not to unnecessarily include too many non-existent ISAM pools in the monitoring opera- tions.

No values are written to the SM2 output file for ISAM pools monitored with the aid of this monitoring program.

TASK

Task-specific monitored data

A user can start this monitoring program only if the primary SM2 administrator has permitted user-specific task monitoring. This permission can be granted either to all users or to users with certain IDs. In this case, the SM2 MEASUREMENT STATUS screen will contain the entry TASK in the line entitled USER MEASUREMENTS ALLOWED.

With the /START-TASK-MEASUREMENT command, the user is then given the option of including tasks under his/her own ID for monitoring by SM2. This task information is stored in a user-specific SM2 output file and it can then be analyzed using the SM2-PA analysis routine (see the "SM2-PA" manual [8]).
