Starting and Stopping the Robot Save Monitor Jobs

Robot Save has three data center management communication monitor jobs that run in the RBTSLEEPER subsystem. The jobs are: RBSDEP, RBSDCM, and RBSERP. These jobs control the event data among the systems in a data center. If the jobs are not running, no data is sent between systems. All communications go through the data center management system (DCMS). Note: The jobs also manage data in a stand-alone system and should be running even if your system in not in a data center.

If a system in the data center stops communicating with the DCMS, any Robot Save processing done on that system continues to be tracked. When communication resumes, the data is sent to the DCMS and then distributed to the other systems in the data center. If only some of the monitor jobs on a system are running, the system may be able to send data but not receive it, or receive data but not send it. To check if all the jobs are running, use the command WRKACTJOB SBS(RBTSLEEPER) to display the RBTSLEEPER subsystem.

The status of the jobs is shown at the top of the Operations Menu. Use Options 8 and 9 on the Operations Menu to start and stop these monitor jobs.
