Viewing and Updating Threshold Dependencies

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

• The panel can be placed in Full Screen mode by simply clicking the icon () to the far-right side of the panel bar. Escape Full Screen mode by clicking on the icon again.
• When the panel contains defined properties, a blue circular indicator containing a number () will appear to the right of the panel name to indicate the number of properties that have been defined.

Adding or Updating Threshold Dependencies

In Admin mode, threshold dependencies can be updated. For conceptual information, refer to Threshold/Resource Dependencies in the Concepts online help.

note

Only those with the appropriate permissions will have access to the Lock button and can update job properties. For details about privileges, refer to Required Privileges in the Accessing Daily Job Definition topic.

note

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

To perform this procedure:

Click on the Processes button at the top-right of the Operations Summary page. The Processes page will display.

Ensure that both the Date and Schedule toggle switches are enabled so that you can make your date and schedule selection, respectively. Each switch will appear green when enabled.

Select the desired date(s) to display the associated schedule(s).

Select one or more schedule(s) in the list.

Select one job in the list. A record of your selection will display in the status bar at the bottom of the page in the form of a breadcrumb trail.

Click on the job record (e.g., 1 job(s)) in the status bar to display the Selection panel.

note

As an alternative, you can right-click on the job selected in the list to display the Selection panel.

Click the Daily Job Definition button at the top-left corner of the panel to access the Daily Job Definition page. By default, this page will be in Read-only mode.

Click the Lock button at the top-right corner to place the page in Admin mode. The button will switch to display a white lock unlocked on a green background when enabled.

note

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

Expand the Threshold Dependency panel to expose its content.

Do any of the following to make updates:

Edit or delete any existing threshold dependencies if necessary.

Click the green Add button (+) to define a new threshold dependency. When the Threshold Dependency dialog displays:

• Select the name of the threshold from drop-down list.
• Select the operator that the SAM should use when the SAM performs the dependency check for the job to compare the current threshold value to the dependent value. Valid operators include: = (equal), > (greater than), < (less than), ≥ (greater than or equal to), ≤ (less than or equal to), ≠ (not equal).
• Select the dependent value to which the SAM applies the operator for comparison with the current threshold value.
• Click Save to save your selections and close the dialog.

Indicators

The defined threshold dependency will appear in the Threshold Dependency panel with visual indicators, similar to the graphic, that indicate whether or not the dependency is in good standings, if what is required for the job is available to that job.

• Appears green if the threshold defined is correct. For example, when the current threshold value is > 1 and the defined value is 2.

• Appears red if the threshold defined is not correct. For example, when the current threshold value is = 1 and the defined value is 2.

• The threshold value will appear on the right.
