Working with Status and Active Job Rules

IBM and Raz-Lee Entry Types include (see Appendix A: Raz-Lee Entry Types):

The following can be achieved using the Entry Type screens:

  • Define rules triggered by specific field contents for each entry type. Resulting actions can generate messages, run command language (CL) commands and more.
  • Generate reports using the iSecurity report generator and scheduler which controls, via field filters, which of the collected QAUDJRN entries are to be outputted to e-mail, message queue (MSGQ), Syslog, etc. The report generator can be accessed at STRAUD> 41 > 1.

To Work with Status & Active Job Rules:

  1. Select 13. Status of Job, Sys, JobQ, OutQ in the Main menu (STRAUD). The Control System Activity (Periodically)Rules for JobQ, OutQ, ActJob, SysSts screen appears. The table below describes the four standard entries that are included with the product.
