Integration via SA IOM Peer-To-Peer Protocol
The integration of SA z/OS with SA IOM is based on the SA IOM peer-to-peer protocol.
This requires that the SA IOM server must accept the system running the SA z/OS agent (or agents) as valid peers. For details about setting up SA IOM, see IBM® Tivoli® System Automation for Integrated Operations Management User’s Guide.
Through this protocol a REXX script is triggered on the SA IOM server that starts the notification escalation process asynchronously. A return code and eventually an error message are passed back to SA z/OS indicating whether the notification escalation could be started.
Note that it is not verified whether an operator can actually be notified by SA IOM.
To use integration via the SA IOM peer-to-peer protocol you must be able to set up a TCP/IP connection to the SA IOM server from at least one system that is running an SA z/OS agent.
