PagerPlus monitors an OpenVMS system and alerts selected support staff, by pager, e-mail, or broadcast messages whenever conditions you have selected occur. See monitoring examples. 

Valuable
With PagerPlus, you will never walk in on Monday to find that Friday's backup didn't run completely. It gives your staff the opportunity to handle problems before they develop into something worse. It increases productivity in the systems department. It also makes your job easier, knowing you will be informed when or if any pre-defined alert conditions occur. You no longer have to constantly check the system. PagerPlus detects when the system deviates from the ideal settings.  PagerPlus institutes automated corrective actions even before you are notified. 

Easy to install and use
You simply define the ideal conditions by entering them in configuration screens. For example, to monitor a file, you would enter the filename on the appropriate configuration screen. PagerPlus will then monitor the file's existence. If it is missing, the program will alert you. If a file that shouldn't exist appears, you will be notified. It's that simple. PagerPlus can even alert others if you don't receive or don't want to receive the message.

• A queue must be running 
• All queues must be empty 
• A specific queue must contain a specific job or no jobs 
• A logical name does not exist 
• A logical name must have a specific value
