Monitoring the progress of your plan

Request a graphical view of the progress of the current plan.

You can request a graphical view that shows the progress of the current plan on the engines for which you have configured a connection and specified the option to show the engine in the dashboard.

The HCL Workload Automation engine must be version 9.1 or later.

An enhanced graphical view of the plan is also available in the Plan View and Job Stream View, see Graphical views in the plan.

Tip: You can also request a graphical view of jobs and workstations from a mobile device. Refer to the Mobile Applications User’s Guide.

To request this graphical view, in the navigation bar at the top, click System Status and Health > Workload Dashboard. The panel opens showing a number of widgets which return the results for the most widely-used queries. The Workload Dashboard provides a single, consolidated view for monitoring the workload status. You can also drill down through the widgets to the query results to discover more detailed information and fix errors.

To customize the dashboard refresh time interval for all the engines, click System Configuration > Workload Scheduling Settings > Set User Preferences. In the lower part of this panel you can find a section to customize this interval.
