How to check whether the Autosys is up or down on your machine

Hi All,

I have provided some brief introduction about Autosys in my previous post.

In this post I will discuss about how to check whether Autosys is up or down on your machine. Suppose your machine name is "example.com". If you have Linux / Unix system then try below command on your machine

$ hostname

Once you got the machine name, try to execute below commands
$chk_auto_up

This command Verifies status of the  Unicenter  AutoSys  JM Scheduler and database. It determines if the Event Server (database) and the  scheduler are running. This is the utility you can use for debugging of Autosys. The output of this command is as below.

Logon to 201.32.02.19 - example.com (XYZ)
 chk_auto_up  
______________________________________________________________________________
CAUAJM_I_50054 Attempting (1) to Connect with Database: XYZ
CAUAJM_I_50055 *** Have Connected successfully with Database: XYZ. ***
______________________________________________________________________________
CAUAJM_I_50128 Connected with Event Server: XYZ
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
CAUAJM_I_50038 Checking CA Unicenter AutoSys JM Scheduler on Machine: example.com
CAUAJM_I_50044 Primary Scheduler is RUNNING on machine: example.com
______________________________________________________________________________
There is another command too which we can use while checking whether the Autosys is up or down.
Please use the below command to test.

$autoping -m example.com -A -D

This command verifies the connectivity  of  Unicenter  AutoSys Job Management (JM) server and client machines. This command also help us in debugging of Autosys. Here option -m stands for machine name, option -A sends an alarm when if any problem is detected, option -D check  the  database connections on the specified machine. Below shows the output of the command.

$autoping -m example.com -A -D
CAUAJM_I_50023 AutoPinging Machine [example.com] 
CAUAJM_I_50028 AND checking the Agent's DB Access.
CAUAJM_I_50025 AutoPing WAS SUCCESSFUL!

These are the heavily used Autosys command while debugging Autosys command. I hope this hope will help you while fixing Autosys.

Thanks & Regards
