Introducing Automated Operation Network (AON)

This chapter describes how to use the Automated Operations Network (AON) component of NetView® by showing you how to display and use its panels. Many of the AON functions can be accessed without displaying a panel if you provide all the parameters with the command and function. For a list of these commands, refer to the IBM® Tivoli® NetView for z/OS® Command Reference Volume 2 (O-Z).

The AON operator interface enables you to use operator functions to view color-coded status displays, change automation settings, receive messages, issue commands, and perform many other functions that control automation and resources.

To use the operator interface, log on to NetView. If you log on as a NetView-NetView task (NNT), the operator interface is bypassed; however, you can use AON by issuing commands from the command line.
