Defining a new dashboard means defining filter criteria
for a subset of jobs, workstations, or both, in your environment,
that you want to monitor from a mobile device or computer connected
to a web browser. The filtered results are displayed in a dashboard
from which you can drill down and continue to filter to retrieve more
targeted results.
Before you begin
To define new dashboards,
launch the
Self-Service Dashboards app
using a web browser:
- Self-Service Dashboards web
address
https://host_name:port_number/dwc/mobile
where, host_name
and port_number are the host name and port number of the Dynamic Workload Console to which you are connecting.
- Required role
- TWSWEBUIAdministrator, TWSWEBUIBusinessDeveloper
Note: If you define a dashboard to monitor
jobs, workstations, or both on z/OS engines, you cannot define filter
criteria. You can create a single dashboard that monitors all workstations
and all jobs for the specified engines.
About this task
To define a new dashboard, perform the following steps:
Procedure
- Tap the Self-Service Dashboards section
to launch the application.
- Tap Create to begin defining
the new dashboard.
- Specify information about the dashboard, optionally associating
a description to better identify it. Mandatory fields are marked by
an asterisk.
- Optionally, tap Icon and select
an icon that you can associate to the dashboard from the list of available
icons.
- In Filter Criteria, define the criteria
to be applied to jobs and workstations.
- Tap Job to
specify filter criteria that determines the subsets of jobs in your
environment to be displayed in your dashboard. The filter criteria
includes one or more of the following: engine (if more than one engine
is available), job stream name, workstation name where the job stream
runs, job name, and workstation where the job runs. Add additional
criteria such as, multiple engines, by clicking Add Filter. When you are finished specifying the filter criteria, tap Back.
- Tap Workstation to specify filter
criteria that determines the subsets of workstations in your environment
to be displayed in your dashboard. The filter criteria includes one
or more of the following: engine (if more than one engine is available),
and workstation name. Add additional criteria such as, multiple engines,
by clicking Add Filter. The dashboard results
are an aggregation of all filter criteria. When you are
finished specifying the filter criteria, tap Back.
- Save the dashboard.
- On the Self-Service Dashboards page,
tap Roles and the dashboard name to open the list of Dashboard Application Services Hub roles
that can be associated to this dashboard. Select only the roles that
you want to authorize to see and use this dashboard: If the new dashboard is not associated to any role, by default
it is only available to users with the TWSWEBUIAdministrator role.
Results
The dashboard you created is displayed
in the
Self-Service Dashboards page
that shows all the dashboards to which you have access.
What to do next
You can now tap the dashboard to display the results that
correspond to the filter criteria defined in the dashboard for the
engine connections you specified.
