NOF Alerts

A NetView alert provides information about system problems. Each alert consists of several pieces of information encoded (mostly) in two-byte hexadecimal strings called code points.

Information in these code points describes specific problem conditions. For example, code points can describe:

• An abend
• What probably caused a problem, for example, System Programmer Error
• The action to take to resolve a problem, for example, Restart the program
• The type of problem, for instance, Performance

Note: For more information about code points, see the IBM documentation.
