Self-Service Dashboards are queries that you can create to display subsets of your jobs and workstations that you want to monitor in a graphical dashboard view.
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 workstations that belong to both the IT and Client Services departments that are identified by departmental codes, IT777 and CS333, at the beginning of the workstation name.
Procedure
- Tap the Self-Service Dashboards section
to launch the application.
- Tap Create to begin defining the dashboard.
- Specify a name, and optionally, specify a description to better identify it.
- Optionally, tap Icon and select an icon that you want to associate to the dashboard from the list of available icons.
- In Filter Criteria, tap Workstation to specify filter criteria that determines the subsets of workstations in your environment to be displayed in your dashboard.
- In Engine, select the engine connection associated to the workstations you want to monitor.
- In Workstation, type IT777* to specify a filter to include all workstations belonging to the IT department to be included in your dashboard.
Note: For z/OS engines, you cannot define filter criteria for the workstation name. All workstations for the specified engine are considered.
- Click Add Filter to add an additional filter on the workstation name. In Workstation, type CS333* to specify a filter to include all workstations in the Client Services department to be included in your dashboard.
- Click Back and save the dashboard.
- On the Self-Service Dashboards page, tap Roles and then 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 that you created is displayed in the
Self-Service Dashboards page that shows all the dashboards to which you have access.

You can now tap the dashboard for which you want to display a graphical dashboard of results corresponding to the filter criteria defined in the dashboard for the engine connection you specified. For information about displaying the dashboard of results, see
