Stat 6.2 - System Administration Guide

In the Service Domain, Job Class, or (in the case of the Schedule tab) the Status field, select the values you want to use as the basis for the filter. For example, in the Job Class field, select RptPrint if you only want to view Print Report jobs.

•

In the case of the Schedule tab, click the calendar icon and in the Calendar window, select the date whose job schedule you want to view. You can only select the current and future dates. Note that when you view jobs scheduled for a future date, the skip jobs functionality is disabled.

•

In the case of the Logs tab, specify a start date, an end date, or both. For example, if you only want to view logs that were generated after April 1, 2004, activate the From field and then enter “04/01/2004” or use the Calendar window and select the date. Logs generated before that date will be filtered from view.

(Optional) Click Enable Filter Options to filter the information in the tab page with the settings you just specified.

(Optional) Click Hide Filter Options to remove the filter options from view.

Showing Job and Log Details

To view more information about a job or log, click the link in the Job Description column. In the Schedule and Jobs tabs, this opens the Job Details pop-up window, which shows the owner of the job, its priority, and additional parameters. In the Logs tab, this opens the Log Details pop-up window, which shows the individual entries for that log.

To view the details for all the jobs or logs, click Show Details. To close a Details window, click the Hide Details link for individual jobs or logs, or click the Hide Details button, which closes all open Details windows.

The Job Details window displays different information about a job depending on the tab from which it is opened. When opened from the Jobs tab, the Job Details window displays the same information about a job as it does when opened from the Schedule tab, however, from the Jobs tab the window also shows the job’s weekly processing schedule. Job Details windows feature links that let you open the other Details windows for the same job in different tabs.

Customizing the What's New Tab in Stat Web

Customizing the What’s New Tab in Stat Web

The Stat Web client is delivered with an include.txt file that specifies default information displayed in the What's New tab in the About window. This file is embedded in the working folders of the Stat Central Agent when it is started up. The delivered file cannot be modified directly. However, it is possible to edit a copy of include.txt and place it in a known location so you can display site-specific information in the What’s New tab.

To implement the What’s New tab on the web client, you have to set up an html-formatted file that will replace the include.txt file deployed the first time the agent is started.

The general format is:

<ul style="display: list-item">
<li style="list-style: disc">Thank you for using Quest Software's Stat</li>
<li>this is point #2 </li>
<li>this is point #3 </li>
</ul>

Stat_home/config/stat.properties contains the pointer to this file. The pointer can be relative (the default), absolute, or a Web http URL.

Open Stat_home/config/stat.properties and find the property whats.new.include. Four or five lines above it is a description of how this property can be configured. Note when modifying this parameter that there are no spaces between the property name, the equals sign, and the file name. Also, the file paths should not contain spaces.

#===============================================================

# Client Global Properties

# Valid "whats.new.include" parameters: (See http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/fileurl.html)

# 1. relative to distribution (default) = ../include.txt

# 2. absolute file Windows (i.e. c:\Temp\...) = file:///c|/temp/readme.txt

# 3. web http URL = http://www..quest.com

#===============================================================

whats.new.include=../include.txt

Note when modifying this parameter that there are no spaces between the property name, the equals sign and the file name.Also, the file paths should not contain spaces.

Setting the value to a relative file means you will have to replace the file each time the agent is redeployed. This is not practical and is not recommended. It only works well for the delivered, non-modifed include.txt file.

whats.new.include=../include.txt

Alternatively, you may create the file in a location outside of the deploy directory and use an absolute path in the what’s new parameter. For example:
