Task management

 

You can be notified about decisions that are made by autonomic managers. Notifications can represent either planned or unplanned events.

 

Planned events

Planned events are events for which the runtime environment has an action plan. For example, you might have a health policy defined that has an average response time that is breaching its configured limit, which might trigger an increased footprint of a dynamic cluster. If WebSphere XD is operating in automatic mode, then the action plan runs, and you can view a notification of the action that was taken. In supervised mode, you can view and approve the action plan. The interaction modes can vary in your configuration. A mix of automatic and supervised mode activities by dynamic clusters and health policies can exist, for example.

 

Unplanned events

If an event occurs that is not assigned to an action plan, then you can be notified that something unexpected has happened. After you receive the notification, develop a plan to correct the situation, if it is indeed problematic.

 

Runtime tasks

A runtime task is generated when an event occurs. Runtime tasks provide information from which you can accept, deny or close the recommended action plan.

 

Notifications

You can have e-mail notifications sent to specified users when runtime tasks occur.
