You can use these views to monitor the progress of your job streams in the plan in a graphical map.
You can also take several actions on the objects displayed in the maps. Almost all the actions and information available in the traditional views resulting from Monitor tasks are also graphically available from these views.
All the panels provide a toolbar that you can use to act upon the views and the objects displayed. For more information about the actions available from the toolbars, see the specific panel help.
The actions that have any effect on the plan require that you click the Refresh button before their outcome is displayed. The action is submitted to the engine and the outcome becomes visible only after the engine has processed it.
By clicking the export icon , you can also export the displayed graphic in a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file. With this type of file, vector-based images can be scaled indefinitely without degrading.
Use this view to get an overall picture of your plan.
This view shows a collapsed plan; it shows only the job streams, hiding any jobs and internal dependencies. External dependencies, both at job and job stream levels, are shown as arrows between job streams. If a job stream has multiple dependencies on another job stream, these are shown as one single arrow.
The following is an example of the view:
Because potentially a plan can contain a huge number of job streams, by default the Plan View displays a limited number of objects. You can determine which job streams to display by specifying filtering criteria in the Show Plan View task.
The maximum number of job streams displayed by the Plan View is 1000.
From the Plan View, you can modify the filters to show different job streams by clicking the icon, changing filter criteria, and running the task again. Consider that changes in the filters apply only to the current view; not to the task definition.
This view has similar appearance and available actions to the Job Stream View.
An important difference is that the Impact View allows you to navigate through the displayed jobs and job streams, choosing the level of predecessors and successors to display.
The maximum number of dependencies displayed by the Impact View is 1000.
The actions you can take on the objects in the view are almost the same as those available in the Job Stream View, except for those regarding files, prompts, and resources, which are not displayed in the Impact View.
Further details are available in the tooltip displayed by hovering on the job with the cursor.
You can take multiple actions on the job by right-clicking it and choosing options from the context menu. The actions available depend on the selected engine and on the type of job. From this menu, you can view and print the job log and the job properties, or act on the job and its dependencies. You can also take actions on the job workstation or open the job and job stream definitions in the database to modify them.
They are shown as smaller boxes, connected to the depending objects by arrows that represent the dependency relationships. To take actions on dependencies, you can right-click either the box or the arrow and choose an option from the context menu. Icons displayed next to the box corners describe the dependency type and status. Further details are available in the tooltip displayed by hovering on the dependency with the cursor. The maximum number of dependencies displayed by the Job Stream View is 1000.
