6 Event Messages
This section describes the EMS event messages that the NetBatch subsystem can
issue and the specific programming considerations for dealing with these event
messages in an application. For general information about EMS, see the EMS Manual.
In this section, event-message tokens and their values appear in DDL format. For an
explanation of DDL, see the Data Definition Language (DDL) Reference Manual.
The NetBatch EMS Interface
The NetBatch subsystem (version D20 or later) has an EMS interface that it uses to
send messages about certain events to the EMS collector $0. The messages are in
SPI format as described in the SPI Programming Manual.
Event Messages Issued by the NetBatch Subsystem
The NETBATCH scheduler process issues the NetBatch subsystem’s event messages.
Table 6-1 on page 6-2 lists and describes the messages. Detailed descriptions of the
messages appear later in this section.
Critical Events
The scheduler generates two classes of events:
•
Critical events are errors and warnings for which the results could be serious, such
as scheduler failure.
•
Noncritical events are usually informational in nature, such as a job stopping
without error.
The value of event-message token ZEMS-TKN-EMPHASIS determines whether an
event is critical. If the value is ZSPI-VAL-TRUE, the event is critical. If the value is
ZSPI-VAL-FALSE, the event is noncritical.
