Enabling NetView Event/Automation Service (E/AS)

This information describes how to configure a dedicated end-to-end E/AS manually.

If you want to configure the E/AS as part of the SA Configuration Assistant, then refer to "Base SA z/OS Configuration Using the Configuration Assistant" in IBM System Automation for z/OS Planning and Installation. If you plan to configure the E/AS manually, then follow the instructions described afterward.

The end-to-end automation adapter uses the NetView message adapter service of E/AS as a gateway between the primary system automation agent and the end-to-end automation adapter.

The NetView message adapter service of E/AS converts incoming messages from NetView into EIF events and forwards them to the automation adapter.

There is additional information about how to enable the NetView message adapter service of E/AS for end-to-end automation. For more details, see the topic "Setting Up UNIX System Services for the NetView Program" in Tivoli NetView for z/OS Installation: Configuring Additional Components.
