# SAP BusinessObjects - Custom Checks

Here you will find detailed information about Custom Checks for SAP BusinessObjects monitored objects.

Custom checks are chosen, adapted and deployed by you for one or more monitored objects and they are designed to allow quick and easy fulfilling of business monitoring requirements. Avantra custom checks are a mix of no-code, low-code and pro-code extensions to the Avantra AIOps platform. Each monitored object type has many custom check capabilities.

note

All custom checks within Avantra have some standard or common attributes. For more information please review our page on Custom Checks.

## SAP_BO_JOBS​

This custom check allows you to monitor if a given SAP BusinessObjects Job is canceled, delayed, running too long or too short, running in the defined time period, or if multiple instances of the check are running. Note that this check monitors jobs within the SAP BusinessObjects system. SAP Data Services jobs are not supported.

### Configuration​

- Job Name
  Fill in the name of the job. The wildcard `*` is supported in order to monitor multiple jobs using the same Custom Check definition. Use a comma to separate multiple jobs. Each SAP BO job matching the pattern given as the job name is considered on its own and reported as a sub check within this check.
- Excluded Jobs
  Fill in the name of the job to be excluded from the search. Use a comma to separate multiple jobs. Wildcards are supported.
- Consider last
  Specify the number of days to select jobs. If left empty, the last 2 days will be considered.
- Select Job Types
  Use the search or selector tool to include only the jobs of a certain type(s). If left empty, then all job types will be considered.
- Select Job Owner
  Only the jobs of the specified owner(s) will be examined. All owners will be considered if the field is left empty.
- Select Jobs started after
  Set this time to select only jobs which are started after this time. Set a time between `00:00 and 23:59`.
- Select Jobs started before
  Set this time to select only jobs which are started before this time. Set a time between `00:00 and 23:59`.

The following settings can be performed with Select Jobs started after and Select Jobs started before: If you set both times, only jobs which are started within this time interval are selected.

Example 1. Job Start Examples

- To select jobs started between `10:00 and 16:00`, set Select Jobs started after to `10:00` and set Select Jobs started before to `16:00`.

- To select jobs started between `23:00 and 02:00` (of the next day), set Select Jobs started after to `23:00` and set Select Jobs started before to `02:00`.

- Rules Configuration
  You can compile your own rules using the Rules section. The overall rule may consist of separate smaller rules. If the job matches the rule's criteria, then it will go to the specified Status.
