Using the WVS Job Monitor
The WVS Job Monitor provides a set of tools to help assess the ongoing health of the publishing sub-system. This information includes:
• Number of jobs for each worker which have been processed
• Number of failed jobs
• Time and date for each job
• Priority of queue
• Submission, start, and end times
• Event that initiated the publishing job
To display the WVS Job Monitor, select WVS Job Monitor from the Utilities page. There are multiple Utilities links, and the behavior of the WVS Job Monitor is based on the context that it was launched from. For example, launching the WVS Job Monitor from the Home/Utilities page shows only jobs that you have submitted. Launching the WVS Job Monitor from the Utilities page of a Products or Projects show jobs that you have access to in that context. Similarly, this concept applies to the organization and site utilities context in the Visualization portal window or from the Windchill home page.
The WVS Job Monitor contains two windows: Job Summary and Job Detail.
Job Summary
• To display the detail for a specific job, select the link in the Job Status column.
• To display job statistics, select the
icon in the
Job Summary area of the WVS Job Monitor.
The Job Statistics window, shown next, displays information including the authoring tool, worker name, number of jobs, both failed and successful, and the overall percentage of failed and successful jobs for each entry. This information helps you diagnose the overall system health.
◦ Below the Job Statistics area, there is a Worker Utilization summary table, which displays the same statistics, organized by worker, and tells you the busy time for each worker as well.
◦ You can click the Save statistics button to save the job statistics to a CSV (comma-separated value) file, which can be read into applications such as Microsoft Excel. This information includes more detail than the summary window.
