Job monitoring

Hi All,

I am involved in job monitoring Activities for last few months and I am really unable to understand the mechanism.Please help me out in understanding the thing.I will assign points duly.

1)I want to know the use of jobs.Why do we require them.Also what is the relation between jobs and events and how they affect the Performance of day to day loads.

See,I am asking this because,sometimes what happens is a job fails, but the loads are successful.Recently ,I did not check out the jobs,But instead went into RSMO in the Production Server and found out the loads have been successful.So,I thought there wasn't any problem.But a job has failed in SM37,which I found out on the next day and I was responsible for not informing the BW onsite person about this cancelled job .So,Can anybody help me to understand the things in the above context.

I assure you,points will be assigned.It is very urgent.

Also,I will post the another scenario further in a new thread regarding the same issue,once this question is answered

Regards,

Poonam
