Viewing and Updating Threshold Dependencies

The Threshold Dependency panel in Daily Job Definition displays any defined threshold dependencies for the selected job.

When the panel contains defined properties, a blue circular indicator with a number () appears to the right of the panel name showing the count of defined properties.

You can expand the panel to full-screen view by selecting the full-screen button () at the far right of the panel bar. Select it again to exit full-screen view.

For conceptual information about threshold dependencies, refer to Threshold/Resource Dependencies.

Required Privileges

To update threshold dependencies, you must have the Lock button available, which requires the appropriate privileges. For details, refer to Required Privileges in the Accessing Daily Job Definition topic.

note

Changes made to job properties in Daily Job Definition take effect immediately. If the job has already run, the changes take effect the next time the job runs.

Add or Update Threshold Dependencies

To add or update threshold dependencies for a daily job, complete the following steps:

1. Select the Processes button at the top-right of the Operations Summary page. The Processes page displays.
2. Ensure both the Date and Schedule toggle switches are enabled. Each switch appears green when enabled.

3. Select the desired date(s) to display the associated schedule(s).
4. Select one or more schedule(s) in the list.
5. Select one job in the list. Your selection appears in the status bar at the bottom of the page as a breadcrumb trail.

6. Select the job record (for example, 1 job(s)) in the status bar to display the Selection panel.

note

You can also right-click the job in the list to display the Selection panel.

7. Select the Daily Job Definition button at the top-left corner of the panel. The Daily Job Definition page opens in Read-only mode.
8. Select the Lock button at the top-right corner to switch the page to Admin mode.

note

The Lock button is not visible to users who do not have the appropriate permissions.

9. Expand the Threshold Dependency panel to display its contents.

10. Do any of the following:

    • To modify an existing threshold dependency, edit the fields inline.
    • To remove an existing threshold dependency, select the delete option for the entry.
    • To add a new threshold dependency, select the green Add button (+). When the Threshold Dependency dialog opens:
      1. Select the threshold name from the list.
      2. Select the Operator that SAM uses when checking the dependency. Valid operators are: = (equal), > (greater than), < (less than), >= (greater than or equal to), <= (less than or equal to), != (not equal).
      3. Select the Value to which SAM applies the operator when comparing the current threshold value.
      4. Select Save to save your selections and close the dialog.

11. Select the Save button to apply all changes.

Result: The threshold dependencies are saved for the daily job. The Threshold Dependency panel updates to reflect the new or changed entries.

note

Select the Undo button to discard any unsaved changes.

Threshold Dependency Indicators

Each threshold dependency in the panel displays a visual indicator showing whether the dependency condition is currently met.

Indicator color	Meaning	Example
Green	The dependency condition is met	Current threshold value is 2 and the operator is > 1
Red	The dependency condition is not met	Current threshold value is 1 and the operator is = 2

The current threshold value appears to the right of the dependency entry.
