Self-Service Dashboards are
queries that you can create to display subsets of your jobs and workstations
that you want to monitor.
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
The following dashboard is used to monitor all jobs that
are responsible for running reports with a job name that contains
the word "Report", which runs on workstations belonging to both the
Finance and Marketing departments, where the workstation names begin
with either "Fin" or "Mktg".
Procedure
- Tap the Self-Service Dashboards section
to launch the application.
- Tap Create to begin defining your dashboard.
- Specify a name, and optionally, specify a description to
better identify it.
- Optionally, tap Icon and select an icon that you
can associate to the dashboard from the list of available icons.
- In Filter Criteria, tap Job to
specify filter criteria that determines the subsets of jobs in your
environment to be displayed in your dashboard.
- In Engine,

You can select a single engine or all engines. The all engines option
works for only distributed engines and not for z/OS engines.
- In Job, type Report* to
specify a filter to include all jobs beginning with "Rep" to be included
in your dashboard.
- In Workstation (Job), type Fin* to
specify a filter to include all workstations where the job runs, beginning
with "Fin" to be included in your dashboard.
- Click Add Filter to add an additional
filter on the workstation name. In Workstation (Job),
type Mktg* to specify a filter to include all
workstations beginning with "Mktg" to be included in your dashboard.
- Click Back and save the dashboard.
- On the Self-Service Dashboards page,
tap Roles and then the dashboard 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.
