Using SysPoint

SysPoint is the primary entry point into the NV4IP multi-Host Monitoring application. To access SysPoint, you must first logon to the Host running the Monitor. Once Logon is achieved, information from all host(s) running an MVS TCP/IP address space with a Monitor is retrieved. SysPoint displays the Stack Name and IP address for each active Host with its associated Alerts, throughput for that stack, channel links status, and connection data for Listeners and Sessions. If you have added multiple Hosts and any of them are currently inactive, the Stack Name and IP address for each displays with a message that the Host is inactive.

To view further information about the system overview data, select a cell to drill down to investigate Alerts, access LinkView to monitor Channel Processors in real- or near-time, or use Connect Expert to view UDP (EE and non-EE) workload/session connectivity or monitor sockets and connectivity for all socket-attached applications in real time. All three functions are accessed from SysPoint’s main screen.

Note:   You must specify one Host Monitor the first time you use NV4IP. Use the Add Host Definitions function in the Master module to do this. If there is not at least one Host Monitor specified, you will receive an error message when you attempt to access data from a Host.
