Accessing the Service Console through the Enhanced 3270 user interface

You can access the Service Console from the ITM Service Index workspace in the Enhanced 3270 user interface.

About this task

Important: The content in this section was created for and applies to the original persistent data store, referred to as PDS V1. A new PDS version (referred to as PDS V2) now exists. PDS V1 will eventually be deprecated.

To use the ITM Service Console workspace, you must supply a user ID and password. This information is sent to a Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server. The user ID and password (and the Service Console or SOAP commands and their results) are normally sent in clear text using TCP/IP and the HTTP protocol. If you want the password and ID to be sent in encrypted form instead of clear text, you must use the secure version of this workspace. To use the secure versions of these workspaces, the address space must be enabled to use the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) communications protocol.

To access the ITM Service Index (KOBHNDX) workspace, use one of the following methods:

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the KOBHUBS workspace by entering =KOBHUBS on the command line.
  2. Use either of the following options.
    • Place your cursor next to the name of the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server that you are interested in, type / and press Enter, then select either ITM Service Index for Hub or ITM Service Index for Hub (secure HTTPS) from the Options Menu.
    • Place your cursor next to the name of the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server that you are interested in, and enter I for HTTP connection to the ITM Service Index or J for HTTPS connection to service index, if enabled.
