Flag Definition

In most cases, flags can be set and cleared by users. For example, you might mark a resource to indicate that a problem has been reported with the resource, and the product is under investigation. Each flag has an associated Note field, where you can enter your own text. This text can be viewed from the Resource Properties Information Page

To change the flag on a resource, use the Information page of the Resource Properties notebook or use a context menu item.

To change which flags to display in the view filter, use the Status page of the Console Properties notebook.

Valid flags are:

Marked
The meaning of a "Marked" flag is customer-defined. For example, an operator may mark a resource to indicate that it is being serviced.
Suspended
Valid only for real resources. The resource is suspended from participation in aggregation and, if it is a RODM resource, from inclusion in exception views.
Automatically clear suspended
Valid only for real resources. The suspended resource will automatically resume participation in aggregation and exception views when it returns to a satisfactory state.
Child suspended
Valid only for RODM aggregates. At least one real resource under the aggregate has a status of suspended.
Status not valid
The host connection has been lost. Status for the resource is unknown. Resources that are managed by the Tivoli NetView for z/OS resource status manager (called shadow objects) will always display this flag.
Threshold inconsistency
Valid only for aggregates. The aggregation thresholds for the resource are not consistent with the total number of real resources in the aggregate or with the rules for setting thresholds. Aggregation will not function correctly until the thresholds are corrected. For example, the aggregation thresholds are set at 5/10/15, but the aggregate contains only four child resources.

To change thresholds, use the Aggregation page of the Resource Properties notebook.

Not monitored
Valid only for real RODM resources. The resource is defined in RODM but is not receiving status.
SNA alert pending
Valid only for real RODM resources. An alert from a real device is pending. SNA alert pending occurs only on SNA shadow objects placed in RODM.
Automation in progress
Valid only for RODM resources. This status is set in RODM by an automation application.
