Multiple Monitored Systems

CA Automation Point can collect and consolidate messages from multiple software consoles. After you designate which console sessions CA Automation Point controls, the product collects highlighted and non-highlighted messages from each controlled session, displays each type of message in a separate window, and combines both types of messages in a single Merged Msg window. Operators can be alerted to problems or changing conditions as follows:

• Displaying important messages in a variety of colors
• Sounding audible alarms when critical messages appear
• Printing selected messages on the workstation printer to create a hardcopy log
• Preserving selected messages in log files
• Displaying selected system data graphically in real time through dedicated plot windows

Operators can issue commands directly to any connected host system. Because the product can be simultaneously connected to multiple host systems, you can also coordinate activities among the systems or pass messages between them.
