TSM EMS Event Viewer
•
Use TMFCOM, the command interface to NonStop TM/MP, to take online dumps of
the Transfer database files and to recover the database files after a system failure.
Establish a regular schedule for online dumps of Transfer database files.
•
Monitor disk space for Transfer and applications based on Transfer, such as PS
MAIL. These applications have a tendency to use large amounts of disk space very
quickly.
TSM EMS Event Viewer
The TSM EMS Event Viewer assists you in performing many of the tasks associated
with viewing and monitoring EMS event logs. The TSM Event Viewer lets you set up
criteria for searching for and viewing the log files in a variety of ways, thereby allowing
rapid assessment of service problems.
The TSM Event Viewer provides dialogs for you to set the search criteria used to
retrieve events based on start and end time, subsystem, source, and multiple or specific
events. You can save a retrieved event stream, as well as load a previously saved event
stream. You can also save and open search criteria and preference files.
After retrieving the events from the Tandem system to the workstation, you can further
select which events you want to view. This includes changing the display parameters of
events (color, font style, size, and type): displaying events by timeframe, subsystem,
subject, and priority; and specifying which events should be included in or excluded
from the display.
The TSM EMS Event Viewer is launched from within the TSM application.
ViewSys
ViewSys is a system resource monitor. It gives system managers and system operators
the ability to view system resources. Viewing the resource allocations across processors
on a running system helps you balance the application load more evenly. ViewSys can
help you decide when to move user processes to less busy processors and disk files or
when to relocate partitions to less busy disk volumes.
