NetView Logon Tips
The following tips may help you with the IBM Tivoli NetView logon window:
- For events that originated from NetView (event
class names prefixed with TEC_ITS_), the NetView server host name in the
NetView console logon
window is correct but the port number may not be.
The port number is correct if you had previously logged on to the specified server; otherwise,
it defaults to 8080 and you may need to change it.
- For events of classes other than those originating from the NetView product,
you must specify the host name and port number of the
NetView server that contains information about the node specified in the event. Contact your
NetView administrator for this information if necessary.
- The fields
for host name and port number in the logon window contain pull-down lists of previous
successful NetView server connection
attempts, so you can quickly try to log on to numerous NetView servers.
If you make unsuccessful attempts, that information is not added to the pull-down lists.
- If a NetView server connection attempt is unsuccessful and a message is issued
stating the object was not found, you
are prompted whether to launch another NetView console. If you click Yes, you
must specify the NetView server host name and port number information. If you click No, you are returned to
the Event Viewer.
- If there is a NetView console running that is connected to a server which contains the information
about the node specified in an event, a new console is not launched; that is, an existing console is used
whenever possible.
