You can use any of the following methods to view flow information:
You can view the raw data of each SSM resource table entry representing a monitored flow using the RDF Table Editor. This method would be sufficient for verifying that CA OPS/MVS is successfully creating these entries without having to use, or before you have installed, SSMO on a workstation.
For instructions on using the RDF Table Editor accessed from OPSVIEW, see the User Guide.

CA OPS/MVS provides a rudimentary ISPF user interface to view basic flow information in a formatted display. It is invoked by executing OPS/REXX program OPCPMBR using either the OPSIMEX (OI) or OPSEXEC (OX) TSO command processor. It does not contain all of the functionality and flow information contained in the CA CPM v3 ISPF user interface and is not intended as a replacement. It is provided mainly to verify that CA OPS/MVS is correctly interfaced to CA CPM v3. See the online help for more information on using the interface.
The following is a sample ISPF panel display using OPCPMBR:

The primary and recommended end user interface to view information about flows being monitored by CA CPM v3 is the ISPF user interface provided by that product.
For information on using this interface, see the CA Critical Path Monitor Version 3 User Guide that is shipped with the documentation for the scheduling products.
An SSMO workstation provides a graphical user interface for easily viewing and managing flow information using a web-enabled or Windows user interface. You can monitor flow information from multiple systems from a single SSMO workstation.
Once the flows are represented as SSM resources, the SSMO workstation can capture information about the flows and represent them as objects in the CA NSM Common Object Repository. Managed objects are displayed on the CA NSM WorldView 2-D or 3-D map, and you can view and manage flows using the SSMO Viewer application.
The Flow page of the Viewer application contains a list of all the flow resources that are defined in a particular SSM resource table. In addition to the flow name, the current status and the estimated completion percentage of each flow are also shown.
For detailed information on the Viewer application and the Flow page, see the CA NSM SSM CA OPS/MVS Option User Guide.
To enable flow monitoring, you check the Flow Monitoring field on the SSMO Configuration dialog box, which is displayed during product installation.
The color of the flow icon on the CA NSM WorldView map indicates whether the flow is matching its desired state-that is, meeting its SLA completion time. The color of the flow icon depicts the SSM state of the flow.
As depicted in the following chart, flow resources can be in one of the following SSM states: ONTIME (redefined SSM UP state), late (redefined SSM DOWN state), COMPLETE, WARNING, or UNKOWN (SSM transitional states):
Indicates that the flow is in its desired state. One example of this color is when the flow is in its ONTIME state, that is, the estimated completion time of the flow is not predicted to exceed the SLA time.
Indicates that the flow is not in its desired state, and is in either its ONTIME state or LATE state. One example of this color is when the flow is LATE, that is, either the flow has exceeded its SLA or the estimated completion time is greater than the SLA time.
Indicates that the flow is not in its desired state, but is in a transitory state (neither its ONTIME state nor its LATE state). One example of this color is when the flow is in a WARNING state, such as when a job in the flow has abended or has exceeded its average historical run time by more than a user-defined percentage.
Indicates that the flow is in its COMPLETE state.
Indicates that SSMO cannot determine the current state of the flow. This may be due to one of the following reasons:
