OPSVIEW Control Option › How to Control System State Manager (Option 4.11.1) › Fields on the SSM Control Panel

Fields on the SSM Control Panel

Notice that you use the first line of the table display area to add a resource table to the list of tables under the control of the System State Manager. The ADD line is followed by a scrollable list of all resource tables currently under the control of the System State Manager.

The following describes the fields on the SSM Control panel:

Wait

The number of seconds to wait for a response from a remote system.

System

The name of the remote system, or an asterisk (*) to indicate the local system. To select a system name from a list of systems, enter a question mark (?) in the System field.

STATEMAN

The global processing mode of the System State Manager for all monitored resources and tables. Values are ACTIVE, NOPREREQ, INACTIVE, and PASSIVE. The value in this field is the same as the value of the STATEMAN parameter. The value NONE may also appear in this field when the STATEMAN parameter is not set to another value at product initialization. NONE can be overridden by entering a new value; however, it will not take effect until the command to restart STATEMAN is issued. The NONE value may not be entered once another value has been set. You must use OPSVIEW option 4.1.1 to change the STATEMAN value back to NONE.

STATETBL

The name of the resource directory table of the System State Manager, which contains the names of the resource tables that System State Manager is currently monitoring. The value in this field is the same as the value of the STATETBL parameter.

SSM Version

The version of System State Manager that is currently defined in the SSMVERSION parameter. This field is not modifiable on this panel. To change the SSM version, you must use the OPSVIEW option 4.1.1 parameter display. If you change the SSMVERSION parameter, then you must issue the command F OPSS,RESTART(STATEMAN) to activate the System State Manager version selected. Currently, 2 is the only supported version of SSM.

Managed Table Name

The name of the resource table.

Table Mode

The processing mode of the table. Values are ACTIVE, INACTIVE, NOPREREQ, and PASSIVE. Only the first letter of the mode value is used. If you are unfamiliar with these processing modes, see their descriptions in the User Guide.

Action Table Name

The name of the action table associated with this resource table. Action tables are described in the User Guide.

Table Up

The name of the state that System State Manager considers to be the UP state for prerequisite checking. UP is the default.

Table Down

The name of the state that System State Manager considers to be the DOWN state for prerequisite checking. DOWN is the default.

Table Unknown

The name of the state that System State Manager considers to be the UNKNOWN state for prerequisite checking. UNKNOWN is the default.

Table TNG Eligibility

The value (Y or N) that indicates whether the table is eligible for display in Unicenter through the CA Network and Systems Management System Status Manager CA OPS/MVS Option product.

Note: The TNGELIGIBLE column must exist in the resource directory table.
