Node Discovery Topology Report
The Node Discovery Topology report contains information about the partners associated with the specified Explorer node.
Important: License management for monitored servers is deprecated in IBM® Sterling Control Center
Monitor V5.4.2.1 and later. IBM Sterling
products stopped using license keys in 2010, but the license management functionality remains in IBM Sterling Control Center
Monitor for users that have older
versions of monitored servers that still have license keys. Since license keys are only available in
prior versions of certain monitored servers that are no longer supported by IBM Sterling Control Center
Monitor, IBM intends to discontinue
supporting all license management capabilities in IBM Sterling Control Center
Monitor. Use of license management
capabilities in IBM Sterling Control Center
Monitor is
discouraged.
