Checkpoint type
This field specifies the checkpoint type. The following values are valid:
*CFGSTS This checkpoint is used to monitor a configuration object. If it
is in another status than defined correct, an error message will
be created.
*HTTP Checks that a HTTP server is responding.
*JOB Checks that a job with a specified user is active on the
system.
*JOBQ This checkpoint is used to check that jobs do not pile up in a
jobq. If the number of jobs actually in the queue exceeds the
specified value, it will be reported.
*MSGQ This checkpoint is used to monitor a message queue for
messages. Messages are selected based on severity level,
and can also be selected on message id, job or user name.
This is configured in the message filter file. Specific messages
can also be routed to another person than the normal receiver
of messages from the message queue.
*MSGW The Job in MSGW checkpoint can be used to report batch
jobs that have stopped with MSGW status. Jobs that normally
have status MSGW or jobs that should not be checked for
other reasons can be omitted by using a filter entry.
The MSGW checkpoint is the simplest method of controlling
jobs on the system. Consider using MSGQ checkpoint for
QSYSOPR and QSYSMSG messages queues instead. This
will cover more of the problems that might occur. Do not use
both MSGW and MSGQ type checkpoints at the same time,
as this will cause duplicate error messages.
