About this task

Complete the following steps to verify the configuration.

Procedure

  1. If you defined new IBM Z® NetView operator IDs, refresh NetView® operator ID definitions.
  2. If you did not complete Step 2 under Enable IBM Z NetView to authorize Take Action commands, issue the APSERV command on a NetView autotask or VOST.

    This step must be completed before monitoring server and agent system commands can successfully be sent to the NetView program.

  3. If you completed Step 2 under Enable IBM Z NetView to authorize Take Action commands, recycle NetView to start APSERV during NetView initialization.
  4. Restart the monitoring server and agents.
  5. Using a Tivoli Enterprise Portal client, complete one of the following steps:
    • Issue an existing Take Action command.
    • Create a new Take Action command and issue it.
    If the command executes successfully, you will see messages in the NetView log. For example: If your Take Action command is D T, you will see messages similar to the following: 
    AUTOTMSI IBMUSER  13:34:21 | BNH806I TAKE ACTION COMMAND 'MVS D T (00000003)'
