Event Management Best Practices › Verify Your Installation

Verify Your Installation

Event Management consists of the following:

• Processes that make up the functional components such as message handling, calendars, and remote servers.
• GUI interface, which includes the ability to add messages to act on and the actions to take, the creation of calendars, and the viewing of the event console

Note: Not all sites will have both parts of this verification process.

To verify your Event Management installation

1. Verify that the Processes are Started.
   • Use the CAIPROC member NSMEMSTR to start the functional component.
   • After starting this job, issue the following command:

     D  OMVS,A=ALL
     

   There should be at least one caiopr processes running, ca_calendar, stardaemon, newdaylog, caidoc, and optionally, oprsafd and catrapd.

2. Verify the GUI Interface Servers are Active.

   The GUI interface requires that the httpd server is active and the Java backend server be up and running. Use CAIPROC member NSMWEBSV to start the httpd server if you do not already have one started. See the Java GUI section later in this chapter for more information about setting up a new server or merging into an existing one.

3. Start the Java Server.

   Use the CAIPROC member NSMJSERV to start the Java server. The following message appears on the system console to signify the startup is complete:

   CAxx506I - TNG Root Processes Initialized
   

   OMVS processes CaemRtS, logonserver.exe, EMServer.exe, and w2Tree.exe should be running at this point.

4. Connect to the GUI.
   • To connect to the GUI, start your browser and use the following URL to display the welcome page:

     http://hostname:port/tngfw
     

   • Once you have the welcome page, select “Launch Unicenter Browser Interface” to launch the Unicenter Browser Interface.

     

5. Enter a mainframe user ID and password.

   

6. Click OK to display the main CA NSM GUI.
