SLA Basics
• What is an SLA?
– Deadline
– Start Deadline
– End Deadline
– Or Both
– Based on a Job Run
Page 15
Copyright © Extra Technology Ltd. All Rights Reserved. All trademarks, trade names, service marks, and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies.
15
SLA Basics – When Would You Use an SLA?
• The entire job stream must complete successfully by a particular time.
• A job within the job stream must start by a particular time.
• A job or a set of jobs within a job stream must start and finish by a particular date and time– CA WA iDash will predict SLA breaches and send ALARMS in advance
Page 16
Copyright © Extra Technology Ltd. All Rights Reserved. All trademarks, trade names, service marks, and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies.
16
SLA Basics – SLA Parameters
• SLA Name: may be different to Job Name
• Run Days / Run Calendar: the days on which the SLA applies
• Exclude Calendar: days when SLA does not apply
• Start Tracking (minutes): how far in advance to start tracking the SLA
• End Tracking (minutes): End SLA tracking post job completion
• Past Hours (hours): how much history of SLA and critical path jobs to show in the Critical Job list

17
SLA Basics – ALARMS
• Using the same mechanism as CA AutoSys
• Multiple ALARMS available per SLA:
– SLA_MISSED_START
– SLA_PREDICTED_MISSED_START
– SLA_AT_RISK_START
– SLA_MISSED_END
– SLA_PREDICTED_MISSED_END
– SLA_AT_RISK_END

18
SLA Basics – Run Validity
• Per-SLA Parameter
• Must be defined
• Defined in minutes relative to SLA time
• To meet SLA, job must start or end between Run Validity Start, and SLA time
• Used to match job run to SLA (usually with jobs that run multiple times per day)

SLA - Questions
I have a job that starts on the hour, every hour. It runs for about 25 minutes. I need to know if the run that starts at 17:00 is not predicted to complete by 17:30. I also need to know if the job is predicted to complete between after 17:25 but before 17:30.
Q1: What should my SLA End Time value be?Q2: What should my SLA Run Validity value be?Q3: What should my At Risk Window value be?

26
SLA Management –SLA Parameters
• Forecast Duration Hours specifies how far in advance CA WA iDash will compute the predicted execution of job streams.
• Any SLA deadline that falls outside the current forecast duration will not be predicted until it falls within the window.
• Typically, this value is set between 12 and 24 hours

27
SLA Management –SLA Parameters
• A predicted miss further in the future than this will not be generated.
• Example: If Alarm Future Hours is set to 5, an 8 PM SLA that is predicted to miss will not generate an alarm until 3 PM
