Accessing Additional Resource Information

The resource name, icon, and other information that can be displayed on the view provide details about each object. In addition to this information, you can use the NetView® management console Resource Properties menu, or command exits to access unique information about objects.

Other Data Field

The Resource Properties window contains additional resource information in the Data1 field.

In RODM, this information is in the DisplayResourceOtherData (DROD) field for each object. Refer to the IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Data Model Reference for more information about the specific content of the DROD field for each object class.

Customer Data Field

Customer resource information can be found in the Data2 field on the Resource Properties window.

In RODM, this information is in the DisplayResourceUserData field for each object. Refer to the IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Data Model Reference for more information about the specific content of the DisplayResourceUserData field.

The SNA topology manager does not change the contents of this field.

Command Exits

You can use a command exit to obtain more information about a resource. From a command exit you can:

• Determine if a resource is an SNA or non-SNA resource
• Determine if a resource is an aggregate or real resource
• Check for a specific resource type

For more information about writing command exits, see the IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS User’s Guide: NetView Management Console.
