Task management

You can be notified about decisions that are made by autonomic managers. Notifications can represent either planned or unplanned events.

Planned events

Planned events are events for which the runtime environment has an action plan. For example, you might have a health policy defined that has an average response time that is breaching its configured limit, which might trigger an increased footprint of a dynamic cluster. If the product is operating in automatic mode, then the action plan runs, and you can view a notification of the action that was taken. In supervised mode, you can view and approve the action plan. The interaction modes can vary in your configuration. A mix of automatic and supervised mode activities by dynamic clusters and health policies can exist, for example.

Unplanned events

If an event occurs that is not assigned to an action plan, then you can be notified that something unexpected has happened. After you receive the notification, develop a plan to correct the situation, if it is indeed problematic.

Runtime tasks

A runtime task is generated when an event occurs. Runtime tasks provide information from which you can accept, deny or close the recommended action plan. Tasks that have taken action or expired tasks stay in the runtime task list for 24 hours by default. You can change this default by setting a cell level custom property. See the Runtime task custom properties topic to learn how to set the custom property.

Runtime task reside in the deployment manager's memory, and are logged in <was_root>/profiles/<Dmgr_profile_name>/tmsStorage as well. When the deployment manager is restarted, the runtime task entries are read into the deployment manager's memory from tmsStorage.

Event logging

You can enable logging for events. See the Task management service event logger topic for more information.

Notifications

You can have e-mail notifications sent to specified users when runtime tasks occur. See Defining e-mail notification for more information.
