You can monitor an openFT instance by an automatically populated MONJV. The job variable is located under the configuration user ID of the instance concerned (e.g. $SYSFJAM) and has the name MONJV.OPENFT. The content of the job variable complies with the standard for MONJVs. The following information is provided by openFT:
Position 1-2 = state:
$R | open FT is active. |
$T | openFT has been terminated normally. |
$A | openFT has been terminated abnormally. |
Position 5-8 = TSN of the control process of the instance involved.
The job variable is created the first time START-FT is issued and used thereafter. If it is not possible to modify the job variable for some reason, this does not have any effect on openFT operation. A diagnostics record is simply created in order to subsequently identify the cause.
