Local AS/400 System as an Alert Primary Focal Point

To have your AS/400 system work as an alert primary focal point for remote AS/400 systems, issue this command:

CHGNETA ALRSTS(*ON) ALRPRIFP(*YES) ALRLOGSTS(*ALL)

You need to explicitly define (in the local AS/400 system's sphere of control) the remote AS/400 systems that will send alerts. To do this, issue the WRKSOC command to add network node control point names. The Work with Sphere of Control screen displays; this screen shows the parameters for the WRKSOC command.
