NCPView monitors IBM 3720, 3725, 3745, and 3746-900 communications processors that are running NCP version 4, 5, 6, or 7.
Note: Although NCPView can obtain information about a 3746-900 communications processor, it cannot communicate directly with this type of resource. NCPView obtains what information it can about a 3746-900 communications processor from the associated 3745 processor.
NCPView obtains NCP data using the VTAM secondary program operator (SPO) interface, by using VTAM display commands.
NCPView identifies NCPs at initialization by issuing a D RSCLIST,IDTYPE=PUT45 command.
NCPView obtains its information about the NCPs using the standard VTAM command—D NET,NCPSTOR,ADDR=xx.
Alternatively, NCPView can obtain its information from an NCP unformatted dump. This is achieved by NCPView reading a section of storage in the unformatted dump instead of issuing a D NET,NCPSTOR,ADDR=xx command.
To view all NCPs in your enterprise from one domain, you must operate in a multisystem environment supported by your region.
