Enabling a CMAS to send generic alerts to NetView

This example task is part of a larger, real-time analysis task that requires you to update a CMAS definition. This example illustrates only the CMAS-related part of the task.

If you want CICSPlex SM to send SNA generic alerts to NetView®, the NetView program to program interface (PPI) must be activated in the relevant CMAS. (This is the CMAS on the same MVS™ image as the NetView instance.) This example shows how to activate the NetView PPI in a given CMAS, CMSSYS1.
  1. First, check that the context is correct (CMSSYS1 in this example). If it is not, change the context field to CMSSYS1 in the current view and click Set. The context is then fixed for all subsequent views and menus until changed.
  2. Display the CMAS definition.
    1. From the main menu click CICSPlex SM operations views —> CMASs known to local CMAS to open the CMASs known to local CMAS tabular view.
    2. If the context is not CMSSYS1, specify CMSSYS1 in the Context field and click Refresh. The context is then fixed for all subsequent views and menus until changed.
    3. Locate the entry for CMSSYS1 and click Local in the Type of access field to open the CMAS detail view.
  3. Update the CMAS definition.

    On the CMAS detail view locate the Netview PPI to be used field and change the entry from No to Yes. Scroll to the bottom of the view and click Apply changes. The view is redisplayed, showing the updated value. The NetView PPI interface is now activated.
