Job Monitor History

Job monitors allow you to monitor your job schedule for specific events, such as jobs that run too long, complete too quickly, or start later than their scheduled run time. You specify the criteria when you set the job up (this is done in the Explorer or IBM i versions of Robot Schedule). You also specify what Robot Schedule should do if it identifies a job monitor event. Robot Schedule can end a job or notify you by sending a message to the job’s message queue; sending a text, email, or pager message via Robot Alert; or sending a status to the Robot Network Status Center.

When a monitored job reaches one or more of the criteria defined on the Job Monitors tab, Robot Schedule takes the specified action and a history record is created. You can view these history records.
