Batch Report Information

The Batch Report Information window allows you to specify a name and description for the batch assessment and define the schedule when assessment should run.

How to Get There

Right-click the Consolidator and choose Batch Assessments/Reporting. Click New or Edit.

 

Specify the following information for the report:

• Name: Enter a name for the assessment.
• Description: Enter a brief description for the assessment.
• Batch Assessment ID: After the batch assessment has run once, a batch ID is assigned to the assessment. You can use this ID to run the assessment from a command line using the Powertech Compliance Monitor for IBM i Batch Report Selection (PTCMT2/CM2BCHREQ) command. Or, use it with a job scheduler (such as the IBM scheduler or Robot/SCHEDULE) to schedule the assessment.

Use the Schedule to run section to select one of the following scheduling options:

• Not Scheduled - this assessment will be started manually: The batch assessment does not run on a schedule; you must start the assessment manually.
• Use the Consolidator's internal scheduler: Specify the following schedule information; Compliance Monitor uses the Consolidator's scheduler to run the assessment.
  • Start at: Specify the time the assessment should run. You can select a time from the selection drop down, which displays time options in 15-minute intervals, or enter a time.
  • On these days: Select the days of the week when the assessment should run. You can select multiple days.

• Use Robot/SCHEDULE for scheduling: Select this option if you have Help/Systems' Robot/SCHEDULE job scheduling software installed on your system. Robot/SCHEDULE offers a large number of scheduling options that can completely automate your assessment needs.

Click Robot Job Setup to display the Robot/SCHEDULE Job Setup window. Use it to enter a name and description of the job, the times the job should run, and the days of the week to run the job.
