AutoSys Assessment Report
This topic contains information about the AutoSys assessments report. AutoSys is an automated job scheduling tool that controls scheduling, monitoring, and executing tasks. The input formats for AutoSys assessment are TXT or JIL.
In This Topic:
Highlights
The highlights section gives you a high-level overview of your assessment summary based on the analysis of the selected scheduler scripts. It includes a graphical depiction of the type of jobs as well as orchestration details.
Summary
This section summarizes the input AutoSys scripts, including the number of files, boxes, jobs, and so on.
- Files: Number of input source files.
- Boxes: A box job is a container for multiple jobs. It controls scheduling, monitoring, and executing tasks.

Analysis
This topic provides a detailed examination of jobs existing in the AutoSys scripts.
Orchestration Details
This section provides a complete analysis of the jobs. Jobs are scheduler scripts (such as AutoSys or Control-M) that run in a certain order to perform a set of activities. It lists all the jobs along with the information about jobs such as types, status, start time, and more.
- Jobs Name: Displays the name of the jobs.
- Type: Displays the type of jobs such as box, file watcher, CMD, etc.
- Associated File: Displays the name of the source scripts that are associated with the jobs.
- Start Time: Displays the job execution time.
- Conditions: Displays the conditions that must be met for a job to run.
- Commands: Displays the commands used in the jobs.
- Availability: Displays the availability of jobs.
- Available: Jobs that are available in both scripts and execution logs.
- Unavailable: Jobs that are available in scripts but not in execution logs.
Artifacts
This section lists all the artifacts that could not be parsed completely due to some error.
- File Name: Displays name of the artifact.
- Unparsed Message: Displays the reason for not parsing the file.
