Using the Alert Manager › Alert Manager Configuration › CA Unicenter TNG

CA Unicenter TNG

You can use CA Unicenter TNG to send messages to the Unicenter TNG console and World View repository when an alert is generated.

Note: Alert must be running on both the Event Management machine and the WorldView machine.

To configure CA Unicenter TNG settings, right-click CA Unicenter TNG and select Unicenter TNG Settings. When the Unicenter TNG Settings dialog appears, enter the following information:

• Event Management Machine--Enter the name of the machine that is running the Unicenter Event Management console.
• TNG World View Machine--Enter the name of the machine that contains the WorldView repository. If the WorldView machine is the same machine you are running Alert on, enter the user name and password for access to the Unicenter TNG repository.

You can also configure the TNG Event Map to set the criteria for Alert specifications in the Unicenter TNG environment. To do this, expand CA Unicenter TNG, right-click Critical, Warning, or Informational, and select Edit Item. When the Unicenter TNG Event Map screen appears, enter the following information:

• Application Event Priority--This displays the Application Event priority that is passed to Alert from the application. The categories can be Informational, Warning, or Critical. This field is automatically populated depending on which category you selected (under the CA Unicenter TNG object) in order to configure the TNG Event Map.
• Severity--Use this option to tailor the severity of the message that is passed from Alert to TNG. Select the type of alert message that you want to broadcast, Error, Fatal, Informational, Success, or Warning.
• Color--Select the color you want the message to display.
• Attribute--Set the message to blink or reverse. The default option sets the message to the TNG default.
• Flags--Select the appropriate check boxes to hold the message or highlight the message in the console.
• Sent to Console--Select the check box to send the alert message to the console.
• Update object status in WorldView Repository--Select this option in the TNG WorldView group to store the status of the current object in the WorldView Repository.
