Is there any way to calculate number of staffs required to monitor 'n' number of mainframe jobs.
Eg: For example how do we figure out how many human resuorces are required to monitor say 10000 jobs
This is to drill down the cost per unit of work ; say cost per mainframe job |

Define "Monitor"
Doesn't CA-7 show failed jobs.
Your request is very far from being clear. Please explain in detail exactly what is required and what other research you have undertaken. |

Monitor: This involves contionous monitoring of the scheduled jobs as they run from a schedular (we use UC4), fix of these jobs for known errors, Escalation to a different team for unknown errors, create of suitable incidents and assisgn it to the concerned team.
Please let me know for any more details. |

| I doubt you'll get a useful answer, mainly because the number of jobs may (or may not) be less significant than the complexity of the overall system. It is one thing to understand that a job didn't run because there weren't enough initiators, but an entirely different thing to see that a job failed because the inputs from 4 different databases located at 3 different sites came in at different times because of a timing issue in job XYZ that only shows up when volume exceeds ... etc, etc.... If the units of work are broken into tiny jobs (10000?) then it might well be work for a few people to monitor, but if they also need to understand what is happening in the system (system analysis), the whole equation changes. But take my advice with healthy skepticism... I've never worked in a real or complex production environment, so I'm just guessing from what I've seen over the years with my colleagues in other companies. |
