Collecting job metrics

You can run the following SQL queries on the Workload Scheduler database to retrieve the number of jobs run by IBM Workload Scheduler over a period of time. One query determines the number of jobs run by specific workstations, while the other query determines the number of jobs run on the entire IBM Workload Scheduler domain.

You can run the queries from the command line interface of your database or you can add them in the Dynamic Workload Console (for details, see Creating a task to Create Custom SQL Reports).
