Use the GMI Windows Client GUI to Access CA SYSVIEW Objects

All CA SYSVIEW objects are included in the CA SYSVIEW folder of the Object Tree.

Note: Before you begin, make sure that the z/OS host that you want to connect to is up-and-running. For procedures on defining a z/OS Host, see the chapter Setting Up CA GMI.

To access CA SYSVIEW objects

  1. Click Start, Programs, CA, CA Storage Resource Manager, and select Windows Client.

    The GMI Windows Client appears. The following is a sample of the GMI Windows Client main window Menu Bar and Toolbar.

  3. Select the z/OS host that you want to connect to and click the Connect icon Connect icon.

    If your user ID and password were provided in the Host Definition dialog for the selected host, the GMI Windows Client attempts to connect to the host. If the connection is successful then the connection status icon changes from the Not Connected icon Not connected icon to the Connected icon . You can skip to step 4.

    If your user ID and password were not provided in the Host Definition dialog for the selected host, then the Host Login dialog appears as shown in the following sample. You must proceed to step 4.

    Enter a valid user ID and password in the Host Login dialog, and click OK.

    The Host Login dialog disappears.

    The GMI Windows Client will attempt to connect and log on to the z/OS host. If the connection is successful then the connection status icon in the Host List dialog changes from the Not Connected icon Not Connected icon to the Connected icon. GMI will collect information from the z/OS host that you have chosen to connect to.

  4. Click the Object Tree icon sys_tree icon.bmp in the GMI Windows Client main windows Toolbar.
