Hi Jerry,

The short answer is you can get ITO to monitor a job but the method depends on
what you want to monitor about the job. Do you want to know if the job is
running or not. Or are you interested in specific details of what the job is
doing. Also, is this a job that you run repeatedly and are willing to insert
commands to send message to ITO?

Now the long answer....

There are several methods that can be used to get information to ITO from the
HPe3000.

- Send message directly to ITO via the OPCMSG interface. There is a CI and
programatic interface available.

- Have ITO launch a custom CI script that gathers information about the task
to be monitored and reports a numeric value that can be used to determine
success or failure. This is the MONITOR interface.

- Use the LOGFILE interface to have ITO monitor the content of a log file. The
log file can be any ascii file. In this case ITO is monitors a file with a
specific name. ITO can launch a CI script that puts the necessary info into an
ascii file that ITO can then scan for specific text strings.

- Monitor the messages sent to the console. ITO can be configured to look for
specific messages sent to the console.

If you have ITO 5.0, you can get an enhanced version of the default templates
for MPE via an ITO patch. This patch contains templates that have examples of
all the above methods for configuring ITO to monitor various MPE processes and
parameters. Check with the ITO support for the specific patch ID. These
templates have several types of methods for monitoring a job.

These templates are also included in the ITO versions newer that 5.0.

The specifics of how to do this is more detailed than I can get in this forum.
See the ITO manuals for details.

I hope this helps,
