get_alert – Get daily performance alert information

Synopsis

Check for alerts created in PMA and detect whether any of your jobs exceeds the average daily performance. If the threshold is exceeded, a PMA alert is triggered. We recommend that you include this command in your end-of-day build to trace all jobs that might cause performance degradation by code changes during the day. .

Parameters

job_acct (required, type: str)

Specifies z/OS TSO/E accounting information. Values: numeric characters (0-9).

job_class (required, type: str)

Your z/OS class information. Values: alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) .

job_mclass (type: str, default: A)

Specifies the MSGCLASS parameter value and assigns the job log to the specified output class. The specified MSGCLASS value is used in all JCLs that PMA runs while you execute the commands. If you do not provide the job_mclass parameter, the default MSGCLASS value is used. Values: alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) .

job_load (required, type: str)

Specifies the PMA loadlib data set name that you defined during the PMA customization (&HLQ.CEETLOAD) .

cert_key_file (type: path)

The file path to a certificate key file to use for authentication.
