TWS/Graph The Best View to TWS Monitoring with TWS/Graph HORIZONT Software for Datacenters Garmischer Str. 8 D- 80339 München Tel ++49(0)89 / 540 162 - 0www.horizont-it.com
Monitoring Production? Is it possible to monitor a complete production? Technically yes, but…
Monitoring Production? The problem: A complete production is too big for graphical monitoring!
Monitoring Production with TWS/Graph! The solution: Monitor the critical path, and not the complete production!
TWS/Graph Status Monitor • Monitor the critical path • Monitor Milesstones • Monitor if production is late • Create HTML files with actual status information • Send Alerts (Email or WTO to SYSLOG) TWS/Graph has an integrated Status Monitor. It can be used to monitor your production:
Identify Critical Jobs As a first step you must know what you like to monitor, and how to group these jobs logically, e.g. by functionality, by owner, by department etc.
Define Structure After you've made a decision what you like to monitor, you must define a structure
Define Structure • Now this empty structure must be filled up with objects: • Groups • Applications • Operations
Define Structure Use the right mouse to insert objects into the empty structure
Define Structure Top Level, e.g. the OPC subsystem
Define Structure Next Level, e.g. Operations
Define Structure Do you want to get a list of all jobs that are in error?
Define Structure Or do you want a list with all jobs that are started?
Define Structure Or do you like to monitor all jobs that are defined in OPC to be monitored? (available with TWSz 8.1)
Starting the Monitor Start
Starting the Monitor Refresh all 5 minutes Write status information to HTML
Status Monitor is up and running No job is in error Jobs are active Some critical jobs are done, some others are still waiting After the refresh the colors are changed, every colour has a special meaning
Status Monitor is up and running Job(s) in error Job(s) are active
Status Monitor is up and running All netplans can be loaded directly from the monitor, here are the active Job(s)
Complex Monitoring e.g. for special jobs ...and jobs for several departments The structure should be defined in a way that allows to monitor all interesting elements from one screen: The Focal Point
Starting the Monitor Start
Status Monitor is up and running Jobs are waiting Some Jobs are in error, other jobs are active, other jobs are waiting Not planned
Status Monitor is up and running This display can be used on a big screen for the operators
HTML Output • End user needs no host connection • End user needs no special knowledge • End user can access status information from anywhere In addition to the treechart all information is presented in HTML files. Benefits are:
HTML Output The HTML files can be used to publish TWS status information via Intranet
HTML Output Detailed job information
How to monitor late jobs The jobs is „late“, if it is not complete until 18:00 Selection criteria: One or more jobs (generic selection)
How to monitor late jobs These job(s) are „late“, if they are not complete until 18:00. 06:00 (=IA) + 12:00 Std. = 18:00 Selection criteria
“Late” Monitor is up and running Job (and superior levels) are „late“ The superior Level is still red, because ERROR has higher priority than LATE
Alerts After every refresh any program can be called from TWS/Graph.
Alerts Create Message Send Email TWS/Graph has an integrated REXX interface. Parameters like the jobname or the status can be passed as a parameter to a program

How to use TWS/Graph to avoid delays • Milestones • TWS/Graph and OPC Deadline times TWS/Graph can be used to find out if production will be in time, or if there are delays. There are some basic techniques to do that:
Milestones Probably the best way to monitor the Critical Path is to insert milestones and to monitor them with TWS/Graph
Milestones Now the same application with milestones (yellow symbols)PS: We used the TWS/Graph function ”Search for redundant links” to clean up the application
