Sysplex logon dialog

Figure 1. Sysplex logon dialog

Logon to a sysplex requires a TSO user ID and a Password.

Note: If you protect your Monitor III data as described in Controlling access to RMF data for the sysplex data services, ensure that the user ID is authorized to use the data service protected by this profile. Otherwise you will get an error message.

The Logon dialog will pop up for each sysplex that you have defined with an Automatic Startup PerfDesk Folder. Selecting Ok submits a logon request to the host. The request may take a considerable amount of time depending on how far away the sysplex to be monitored is, and how much it is loaded.

The user ID is preset in the Logon dialog but can be overwritten. You can change the preset user ID in the Change Sysplex dialog.

Note: If a logon fails several times, an expired password may be the reason. You should logon as TSO user to the host session, and change the password there before returning to this dialog. You cannot change the password from RMF PM. If a logon fails a certain amount of times, the user ID is revoked.

When the logon request has been completed successfully, the initial PerfDesk is loaded and started immediately. Unless you have changed the setup, you will see four DataViews:
