Using the Product

NV4IP helps network operations staff, network support analysts, and system programmers monitor and support the mission-critical TCP/IP based applications. By providing historical data and trending patterns through workload, usage, and response time reports, NV4IP makes SNA and TCP/IP network integration manageable. In order to use NV4IP on multiple browsers, the following steps must be taken:

1.      The Monitor must be installed and activated on the MVS host and NV4IP Java servlets must be installed on the Web servers.

2.      A User ID and password must be set up for each user by the Master administrative function if NV4IP security is being used. RACF security access is determined on the Host. Individual users have access to the application via their TCP/IP Intranet. The individual user only has access to those applications set up for his/her User ID by either the Master workstation user or the Host Security Administrator.

3.      For History Reports modules and some Real-Time Monitoring modules, the host Monitors and critical resources to be monitored must be defined and Alerts must be set by the Master function.
