Launching directly to a Situation Event Result workspace

Applications can launch IZSME and go directly to a Situation Event Result workspace you are interested in, instead of requiring you to navigate there each time.

About this task

If you have an application outside IZSME, for example, Service Management Unite, that receives situation event data from OMEGAMON, the application can be coded to launch IZSME and go straight to that Situation Event Results workspace.

The workflow is similar to right clicking on a situation in the IZSME situation event console, then selecting a situation from the list that appears.

Procedure

  1. Select the link, button, or other control that launches IZSME from the application.
  2. The direct launch can be set up to go to the Zowe desktop or to go directly to IZSME. If prompted, log into Zowe with your username and password; IZSME will start automatically.
  3. Depending on the configuration of your site, you may see the following message: External Launch: There is more than 1 TEPS configuration match found for launch data provided. Choose any configuration to proceed. Select from the Server drop-down list above the message, choose the TEPS you want to use, and complete the login procedure with your username and password for IZSME.
    Applications can be configured to launch IZSME at one specific situation, or to give you choices based on different views (for example, Physical or another view defined by your administrator). In the latter case, the Select situation panel will be displayed; this lets you navigate to a situation. The panel has columns for Severity, Impact, and other criteria you can use to determine the situation you want to view. Once you have selected the situation, the Navigator will show the navigation tree down to the situation displayed, and the Initial Situation Values, Current Situation values, Command View, and Expert Advice panels will be displayed.
