Monitoring the Event Manager

The Event Manager monitor in the Process Admin Console displays information about the Scheduler for the Event Manager on your Process Center server or Process Server and about the various jobs being tracked by that Scheduler.

You must log in to the Process Admin Console.

When you access the Event Manager monitor, you can see the status for each scheduled job. In a clustered environment, the monitor displays all Schedulers in the cluster and the jobs for all Schedulers in the cluster.


Procedure

To use the Event Manager monitor:

  1. In the Server Admin area of the Process Admin Console, click the indicator next to Event Manager to list the available management options.

  2. Click the Monitor option. The monitor displays the ID and status for each Scheduler and also displays all currently scheduled jobs.

  3. Click Pause or Pause All to pause a selected Scheduler or all Schedulers. If you pause a Scheduler, any executing jobs are completed before processing is halted.

  4. Click Resume or Resume All to resume processing of the selected Scheduler or all Schedulers.
  5. Examine the list of jobs to determine which events are scheduled and when they should run. This list can help you troubleshoot issues with your processes.

    For example, if an undercover agent (UCA) is supposed to start a process automatically at a certain time and you notice that the process is not running, you can examine the list of jobs to determine if the UCA was scheduled. If not, you know there could be an issue with the Process Server receiving the event. If the UCA is scheduled, but never runs, you can check the implementation of the UCA in the Designer to understand why it fails to run.

  6. Click the Refresh button to ensure you are viewing the most recent data available.


What to do next

The Event Manager monitor does not show historical information about undercover agents (UCAs) that were successfully run, but you can capture this type of information in the SystemOut.log file as long as the log details level for the WLE.wle_ucaexception component is set to the following default value:

*=info

If the log details level was changed, you can change it back to the default value by opening the WebSphere Application Server administrative console and selecting Troubleshooting > Logging and Tracing > server_name > Change log detail levels > Runtime > Components.

The SystemOut.log file does not capture any information for event subscriptions.
