Operations Manager Module Overview

Within NV4IP, there is a grouping of functions that are operational management in nature.  This group is called Operations Manager.  The Operations Manager functions provide real-time viewing of events as they happen across the enterprise.  The Operations  Manager functions include Real-Time, SessionLog, SNMP, StackView, Monitor and Commands tabs.

The Operations Manager functions are:

Real-Time Tab

Real-Time

Real-time graphs and reports provide performance and workload information for applications and clients, in terms of response time for bytes transferred and number of sessions. Data is available as soon as the Monitor on the host is activated on your network.

SessionLog Tab

SessionLog

The SessionLog allows viewing of near time or current time sessions for FTP, API, Telnet, and SMF records. That is, sessions that are either currently live or have recently happened. The definition of recently is up to the installation and may be set in the parameters to the FTP or SMF exits. These session records are held in memory by the NV4IP Monitor executing on the Host.

SNMP Tab

SNMP MIB

Provides tabular and real-time graphs of the public and private MIBs for any SNMP-capable device, including OSA Express, Cisco CIP, IBM 2216, and TN3270 servers.


StackView Tab

StackView

Tracks CPU usage for the address spaces associated with TCP/IP (TCP/IP, SNALK, FTP server, etc), as well as for any address space associated with a socket-attached application.


 


Monitor Tab

Real-Time

Monitoring

Monitor response time, availability, Telnet, and channel processors in real time.

Commands Tab

Commands

Execute commands to diagnose problems and control network activity while within NV4IP. The following commands can be issued:

Netstat to check the link, foreign port, client, or socket-attached application status.
TraceRoute
to view TCP/IP route and segment information.
D NET,
RTPS to perform a VTAM-based Rapid Transport Protocol (RTP) Route Test across the HPR pipe from any EE connection to a specific RTP endpoint. Only available for z/OS V.1.2 and later.
Ping
to determine if a TCP/IP resource is available.
D NET,APING
to test network connectivity of Enterprise Extender links or to determine APPN availability and response time for a specific APPN Transmission Group (TG) between two APPN endpoints.
VTAM
to display, inactivate, activate, or modify a resource in VTAM.
Storage
to display shared storage, such as CSM or VTAM buffer pools.
OSPF
or RIP to specify dynamic routing protocols and Route Table to view Route Table configuration. These commands are implemented with the OMPRoute program application.
D
OMVS to display and diagnose current OMVS-based settings and associated processes.
