Preparing to transmit generic alerts to NetView

You can have the real-time analysis (RTA) component of CICSPlex® SM transmit generic alerts to an IBM® NetView® system when one or more user-defined conditions occur during analysis.

For information about how to prepare CICSPlex SM to send the generic alerts to NetView, see the discussions of the ACTNDEF view, in CICSPlex System Manager Managing Resource Usage and the CMASD view, in the : CICSPlex System Manager Operations Views Reference manual.

To be sure that a NetView system is ready to receive the alerts, use the NPDA command

   DFILTER AREC

to verify that the Event Type record IMPD is being passed to the NetView database in the NetView system.

The resulting list should show an ACTION of PASS for ETYPES of IMPD, and RSLV.

If it is necessary to add these record types to the filter, you can issue the following NPDA commands:

   SRFILTER AREC PASS E IMPD
   SRFILTER AREC PASS E RSLV

If the name of the NetView Alert Receiver has been changed from the default value (NETVALRT), the CMAS only CICSPlex SM system parameter ALERTRCVR may be used to specify the required name. See CICSPlex SM system parameters for details of the ALERTRCVR parameter.
