Hub Connectivity Administration assists you to specify and save a hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server connection.

About this task

When you log on to the enhanced 3270 user interface for the first time, Hub Connectivity Administration can assist you to specify a hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server connection.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the user interface in the standard way.
    If a hub monitoring server is specified in your profile, and that hub is available, a connection is made to the hub and your initial workspace is displayed. By default, the initial workspace is the Enterprise Summary (KOBSTART) workspace. If a hub monitoring server is not specified in your profile, the Hub Connectivity Administration workspace is displayed.
