Resource Properties Notebook: Information Page
Use the Information page to view and update detailed information about a selected resource, including the following:
- The name of the selected resource
- The aggregation priority of a
real resource
- The flags and notes associated with a resource.
The Information page displays the following information for a resource:
- Resource Type
- The type of the selected resource and its icon.
- Resource Name
- The name of the selected resource. You can change the name of a non-RODM resource only if you are authorized by the server to edit the non-RODM resource.
- Business System/Applications/Middleware/DB/Operating System
- The name of the business system, application, middleware, database, or operating
system containing the resource. These fields are not displayed for all resources.
This field is not applicable to RODM resources.
- Status
- The current status
of the resource, and the time when the status was last updated.
If this field displays Not applicable, the status has never been determined.
The timestamp always reflects the time at the server. If the server is not in the same
time zone as the console, the timestamp may be inaccurate for the console.
This field does not display if the time is unknown to the server.
- Managed by
- The manager of this resource, such as GMFHS or topology display manager.
- Total Resources
- If the selected resource is an aggregate, this is the total number of resources it
contains, displayed as the sum of all resources in exception, non-exception, and
suspended states.
This field is not displayed if the selected resource is real.
The SuspendedCount is a count of the real resources not
currently participating in status calculations for aggregate
resources. A real resource does not contribute status to its
aggregation parents if any of the following three actions have occurred:
- The suspend flag of the UserStatus field is on.
- The AggregationPriorityValue field has a value of "Ignore" (-1).
- The AggregationPriorityValue field has a value of "Resource type default" (-2). The DefaultAggregationPriorityCopy field contains a copy of the value in the DefaultAggregationPriorityValue field of the Display_Resource_Type_Class object that is linked to the DisplayResourceType field of the real object. If the
DefaultAggregationPriorityCopy field is "Ignore" (-1) and the
AggregationPriorityValue field is "Resource type" default (-2),
this resource does not participate in status calculations for aggregation.
Note:
Setting the AggregationPriorityValue or DefaultAggregationPriorityValue fields to
"Ignore" (-1) does not affect the suspend flag of the UserStatus field. These actions
are independent of each other and do not cause the other to occur.
- Aggregation Priority
- If the selected resource is real, the aggregation priority defines how critical the
resource is. The higher the value, the more critical the resource is.
This field is not displayed if the selected resource is an aggregate. To change the
aggregation priority, select a new priority from the list to indicate how many levels
up the resource should report status. You must be signed on with administrative access
to change the aggregation priority.
- Data1
- For RODM resources, this is the information defined
in the RODM DisplayResourceOtherData field. For all other resources, this is customer-defined heartbeat information.
- Data2
- For RODM resources, this is the information defined
in the RODM DisplayResourceUserData field. For all other resources, this is customer-defined heartbeat information.
- Data3
- For RODM resources, this is the information defined
in the RODM iPAddress field. For all other resources, this is customer-defined heartbeat information.
- Data4
- For RODM resources, this field will always be blank. For all other resources,
this is customer-defined heartbeat information.
- RODM ID
- If this is a RODM resource, this field displays the RODM object ID value of the resource.
- Polling interval
- The refresh frequency, in minutes, for the monitors selected for the resource
using the Monitor Counts function.
When the polling interval for a particular resource expires, the server starts the
Query Value tasks associated with the selected monitors for the resource and updates
views with the current monitor value. This field is not displayed for all resources.
This field is not applicable to RODM resources.
- HB Source
- The name of the resource.
This field is not applicable to RODM resources.
- HB SubSource
- The component name of the resource.
This field is not applicable to RODM resources.
- HB HostName
- In a distributed environment, the TCP/IP hostname. In an z/OS environment, the
Tivoli NetView for z/OS domain name.
This field is not applicable to RODM resources.
- HB Origin
- Identifies the system on which an instrumented entity resides; for example, a
TCP/IP name.
This field is not applicable to RODM resources.
- HB SubOrigin
- Uniquely identifies the particular instance of the instrumented entity on the
system; for example, a port number.
This field is not applicable to RODM resources.
The Information page also displays a list of flags and
indicates which flags, if any, are set for the selected resource. If a flag is
set, the following information is displayed:
- The name or ID of the operator who last changed the flag, if applicable
- The date and time when the flag was last changed
- An optional note that the operator may have added when changing the flag
To change the flag, check or uncheck the specified flag. If the checkbox for a flag
is grayed out, you cannot change that flag. Some flags can be changed only by
administrators, while others, such as threshold inconsistency, can never be changed.
To change the note, click in the Note field and enter the new value. You can
only change a note if you are allowed to change its associated flag.
If the selected resource is an aggregate resource, additional information
is displayed on the
Aggregation page.

Anchor button.
