Investigating Scheduler Status, Job and Process Details

The PS_Scheduler Agent helps you monitor the availability of the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler and also keeps track of the jobs and processes that are submitted through the Process Scheduler, including their statuses.
To start your investigation with the PSS_DB_Overview graph view:
•
Go to the PSS_DB_Overview graph view which displays the CPU and Memory Resource consumption of the Process Scheduler at the Database level.
To view more detailed information related to the PSS_DB_Overview graph view:
•
Drill down on any bar to see the PSS_Queue_Overview which shows the CPU and Resource Consumption of the Scheduler Queue(s) that are associated with that particular database.
To start your investigation with the PSS_Current_Jobs graph view:
•
Go to the PSS_Current_Jobs graph view which displays the Jobs that are currently being processed by the Process Scheduler at the time of collection.
To view more detailed information related to the PSS_Current_Jobs graph view:
Drill down from this graph view to see the resource consumption based on users and processes associated with the jobs being run at the time of data collection.

Manual Agent Naming

Since you can use the PeopleSoft agents to monitor different PeopleSoft application servers on a single monitored host, it is useful to create a unique named agent. You can then easily identify the PeopleSoft application server domain by the agent name.
 
* 
NOTE: Secondary agent properties for each agent instance are global, and changes to the base PeopleSoft Agents affect the instance unless you create and use an agent-specific secondary agent property list.
Naming Examples:
For PS_AppServer:
•
PS_DOM1_9500
Where <DOM1> is the Domain name and <9500> is the JSL port.
For PS_SchedServer:
•
PS_SchedSrv_P845BS
Where <PS_SchedSrv> is the Agent Name and <P845BS> is the PeopleSoft Scheduler Domain name.
For PS_Scheduler:
•
PS_Scheduler_P845BS
Where <PS_Scheduler> is the Agent Name and <P845BS> is the PeopleSoft Scheduler Domain name.

Deployment Scenario Procedures

Agent deployment may be performed differently, depending upon the current state of agent installation.
This section provides procedures for the following deployment scenarios:
•
For a new install without existing PeopleSoft agents:
•
To discover new PeopleSoft domains:
•
When an installed PeopleSoft agent is deleted through the Foglight Console:
•
If the deploy option is set to false for a PeopleSoft agent that is already installed:
For a new install without existing PeopleSoft agents:
1
Deploy the PS_AppMonitor Agent or PS_SchedMonitor Agent to the monitored host.
2
The PS_AppMonitor or PS_SchedMonitor Agent discovers the application domains or the Process Scheduler domains on the monitored host, populating the agent property Domain List with discovered PeopleSoft domains and necessary connection information.
3
If the monitor option is set to true for a PeopleSoft domain, a Foglight for PeopleSoft agent is deployed/installed on the monitored host and the deploy timestamp is updated.
4
The PS_AppMonitor Agent or PS_SchedMonitor Agent does not have to continue to execute after initial discovery and deployment.
To discover new PeopleSoft domains:
1
The PS_AppMonitor and PS_SchedMonitor Agents monitor a host at a defined collection interval looking for newly installed PeopleSoft domains or changes in the current Foglight for PeopleSoft installation.
2
If a newly installed PeopleSoft domain is discovered, the PS_AppMonitor or PS_SchedMonitor Agent updates the agent property Domain List with the PeopleSoft domain name and connection information, and then displays the following message on the Foglight Console:
PS_AMON_303 or PS_SMON_303. The Domains List has changed. Check ASP and validate the change.
3
If the monitor option is set to true for the discovered PeopleSoft domain, a PeopleSoft agent is deployed/installed on the monitored host and the deploy timestamp is updated.
When an installed PeopleSoft agent is deleted through the Foglight Console:
1
The PS_AppMonitor and PS_SchedMonitor Agents monitor a host at a defined collection interval looking for newly installed PeopleSoft domains or changes in the current Foglight for PeopleSoft installation.
2
If an already deployed PeopleSoft agent (PS_AppServer or PS_SchedServer) is deleted through the Foglight Console, the PS_AppMonitor or PS_SchedMonitor Agent property Domain List monitor flag is not automatically updated. The PS_AppMonitor or PS_SchedMonitor Agent displays the following message on the Foglight Console:
PS_SMON_310 (315) or PS_AMON_307 Previously deployed agent has been improperly deleted Agent [<INSTANCE_NAME>] deployed [<Time Stamp>] has been deleted. You must remove the check box from ASP.
3
A Foglight for PeopleSoft agent deployed in the past was deleted without setting the Deploy option to false in the PS_SchedMonitor or PS_AppMonitor Agent. Edit the list of domains and set the Deploy option to false in order to clear the deploy timestamp.
4
To monitor this domain again, at a later time, set the Deploy option to true. The Foglight PeopleSoft agent is deployed/installed on the monitored host and the deploy timestamp is updated.
If the deploy option is set to false for a PeopleSoft agent that is already installed:
1
The PS_AppMonitor and PS_SchedMonitor Agents monitor a host at a defined collection interval looking for newly installed PeopleSoft domains or changes in the current Foglight for PeopleSoft installation.
2
If the Deploy option is set to false for a deployed/installed PeopleSoft agent, the PeopleSoft agent is not deleted. The deploy timestamp is cleared. If you want the PeopleSoft agent to be deleted, delete it through the Foglight Console.
If the Deploy option is set to true for the PeopleSoft agent, the PS_AppMonitor or PS_SchedMonitor agent determines if a PeopleSoft agent is already deployed/installed, and only updates the monitor flag.
