AS400 Subsystems Test

This test monitors the subsystems on the AS400 server and reports the number of active and inactive subsystems.

Target of the test : An AS400 Server

Agent deploying the test : An external/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every AS400 server being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.
Port	The port at which the specified host listens. By default, this is NULL
ServerName	This test connects to the AS400 server being monitored to extract the required metrics. Therefore, specify the name of the AS400 server to connect to in the ServerName text box.
UserID	To enable the test to login to the specified AS400 server, you need to provide the test with the credentials of a valid user to the AS400 server. Hence, specify a valid userid.
Password	Provide the Password that corresponds to the specified UserID.
Confirm Password	Confirm the password by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box.
DD Frequency	Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD frequency.
Detailed Diagnosis	To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled: The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Subsystem in clear	Indicates the number of active subsystems available in the system.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure, if enabled, reveals the name of the subsystem, the number of active jobs, the name of the library, the number of maximum active jobs and the current status of the subsystem.
Subsystem in critical	Indicates the number of inactive subsystems available in the system.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the name of the subsystem, the number of inactive jobs, library, the number of maximum active jobs and the current status of the subsystem.
