TNGMON—Error Messages

Valid on z/OS.

Use the TNGMON control option to set and activate error messages sent to a Unicenter console.

You can identify one or many Windows NT machines as CA Common Services monitors. However, you can also identify other CA Common Services monitors from within CA Common Services.

Considerations:

• Sending error messages to multiple Unicenter monitors affects the performance of your z/OS system and increases work traffic. Identifying multiple Unicenter TNG monitors ensures that you will always have at least one CA Common Services monitor up and running.
• Identifying additional Unicenter monitors from within CA Common Services is easy, and it lets you create filters and calendars to route error messages more efficiently. For more details, see the Getting Started for CA Top Secret WorkStation.

All entry methods are accepted.

This control option has the following format:

TNGMON(ON|OFF) (ADDTO|REMOVE, ip address[,DEBUG])

ON

Enables the TNG monitor to send error messages to a Unicenter console. If the monitor is on, and there are no TNG monitor table entries, the monitor does not process any data. The same is true if the table has entries but monitor is off.

OFF

Disables the TNG monitor from sending error messages to a Unicenter console.

ADD

Indicates that a new IP address is added to the TNG monitor table.

CA Top Secret will not allow duplicate entries to the TNG monitor table. If an entry is added that already exists, CA Top Secret recognizes its existence and returns a MODIFY FUNCTION SUCCESSFUL.

REM

Indicates that an IP address is removed from the TNG monitor table.

If you remove the last entry in the TNG monitor table, and the internally used entry count is set to zero, the TNG monitor is automatically placed in an off status.

Note: The REM function used with DEBUG only removes the DEBUG function, not the IP address.

ip address

Identifies the PC address for which CA Top Secret violations are sent.
