customization is no longer affected by rediscovery of resources in
your network.
- Additional relationships are now discovered between resources
managed by different agents. Existing topology correlation by LAN
MAC address has been expanded to also discover when resources on
the same workstation share the same TCP/IP address.
- Correlation is now faster, can be customized, and provides additional information about correlated resources. Operators can now diagnose complex problems more easily.
Automation: Integrated AON/MVS Component
The Automated Operations Network/MVS product has been integrated into TME 10 NetView for OS/390. The Automated Operations Network (AON) component enables you to implement network automation without writing procedures, yet it can be easily extended to meet your unique networking requirements. It enhances the network management function provided by the NetView component by providing cost-effective, automated network operations facilities. These facilities improve controls, which enhance operator productivity and network availability.
The AON component provides a single, integrated, automated solution for diverse environments, including SNA, TCP/IP, VTAM Subarea, X.25, APPN, and token-ring LANs. It provides the drop-in automation policy and routines necessary to automate network recovery and increase availability of your network. The drop-in automation policy can be easily extended to suit your environment.
The AON base toolkit also allows you to leverage IBM's overall automation knowledge if you choose to write your own automation routines. For example, by using AON's threshold correlation routines, you can leverage AON's base toolkit to get your own automation up and running more quickly.
Highlights of the expanded function, improved performance, and enhanced usability and installation include the following.
- Automation performance is improved.
- VTAM messages handling is enhanced.
- AON will now set the RODM "Automation In Progress" status so NGMF
operators can quickly determine when automation is already
handling a resource outage.
- Security authorization on the commands sent to LAN Network Manager
(LNM): Any command sent can be restricted from use by any
operator you specify.
- More than two auto-tasks can now be specified for SNA automation
and AON message processing to improve overall system performance.
- A new option in the AON trace facility allows you to turn off
tracing altogether, reducing overhead and improving performance.
A trace can easily be enabled from the AON operator interface when
needed.
- The NCP Recovery function supports using the NCP load module name
or PU name during the recovery processes.
- You can decide whether NCPs are status-checked during AON
initialization, and you can invoke recovery processing for NCPs
that are down.
- The SNA automation feature can now recover dynamic resources that
VTAM may not know about after a failure occurs.
- The LAN Automation feature can now distinguish between traditional 2-port bridges and multiport bridges.
NetView for OS/390 is a key component in connecting the management of the S/390 environment to the distributed world. It provides the TME 10 automation services for S/390 applications.

Systems and Network Management: Integrated NetView Component
Highlights of the expanded function, improved performance, and enhanced usability and installation functions for the NetView component are as follows.
- Enhancements to Resource Utilization Management
The resource utilization management function in NetView for OS/390 enables you to prioritize, monitor, and control essential system resource usage by NetView tasks. You can obtain information that helps you plan for and tune NetView, so that tasks can be adjusted according to the amount of resources consumed.
- Enhancements to Automation Capabilities
- Improved VSAM Access:
NetView now provides access to VSAM files directly from REXX procedures, NetView command lists (CLISTs), PL/I and C/370 (TM) programs, and the NetView for OS/390 command line. Using the command processors DSIVSMX and DSIVSAM, you can access any keyed VSAM file, including those that are defined by NetView for OS/390 data services tasks.
The DSIVSMX command processor can define, read, and write VSAM-keyed files directly from a command processor, without using data services tasks. This command also provides access to IDCAMS, the VSAM services utility.
With this support, you can implement VSAM applications, including end-use applications developed in REXX (in conjunction with the pipeline facility).
- Full-Screen Automation
NetView for OS/390 now includes support for full-screen automation. With full-screen automation, a REXX, PL/I, or C program can perform any NetView for OS/390 full-screen component tasks that a NetView operator could perform using the same component and a 3270 display. Examples of NetView for OS/390 full-screen components are NLDM and full-screen TAF. Using full-screen automation, an application program is able to:
- Read data from a NetView for OS/390 application panel.
- Write data to a NetView for OS/390 application panel.
- Execute the PF, PA, Enter, and Clear function keys on a NetView for OS/390 application panel.
- PIPE Enhancements
NetView for OS/390 pipeline support has been enhanced to include complex pipelines. Complex pipelines allow processing of stages with multiple input and output data streams. Some new stages have also been introduced, including COUNT, EDIT, DUPLICAT, COLOR, REVERSE, and LOOKUP.
- REXX Enhancements
NetView for OS/390 REXX programs can now determine the name by which they are invoked. REXX programs can check the security authorization of the NetView for OS/390 operator executing the program and modify processing accordingly.
- Improved VSAM Access:
- SNA Topology Manager Enhancements in Storage, Serviceability,
Availability, and Recoverability
The virtual storage required by the SNA Topology Manager (SNATM) has been significantly decreased. Also, when a storage shortage is detected, the SNA Topology Manager tries to terminate only the responsible command instead of ending the entire SNATM task. A new command displays the internal storage pool usage of the SNA Topology Manager.
Prior to TME 10 NetView for OS/390, the SNA Topology Manager terminated when RODM or VTAM (R) CMIP services terminated. The SNA Topology Manager now reinitializes and attempts to reconnect to the failing component, based on retry intervals and limits that you define. The TOPOSNA SETDEFS command has been enhanced to let you enter specifications for retrying the RODM connection, the VTAM CMIP services connection, and MONITOR commands.
An improved TOPOSNA TRACE function supports an internal trace buffer and increased granularity for trace data collection.
New NetView for OS/390 samples have also been added to help you customize SNA Topology Manager views.
The optional suppression of NetID from DisplayResourceName of SNATM objects is provided.
- Enhancements to NetView Sysplex Support
NetView now supports two MVS Version 5 Release 2 features that are available for use on System/390 (R) Parallel Sysplex (TM) and related systems: cloning support and automatic restart manager (ARM) support.
For example, in a parallel sysplex environment, a copy of NetView may be running on multiple MVS images. Data set names, partitioned data set member names, and the contents of these members may need to be unique for each MVS image. Cloning support reduces the amount of maintenance required by permitting this type of data to be shared across multiple systems while retaining the uniqueness of each MVS image. With cloning support, it may no longer be necessary to maintain separate NetView for OS/390 partitioned data sets with unique member data. To take full advantage of this function, an MVS system of Version 5 Release 2 or later is required.
Automatic restart manager (ARM) support decreases the need for operator intervention to restart NetView for OS/390 following an abnormal termination. For example, if the NetView for OS/390 main task abends, the NetView program will be automatically restarted if ARM support is enabled.
- Enhanced End-to-End Management Support for APPN (R) HPR and MNPS
Technologies
The NetView for OS/390 session monitor now supports High-Performance Routing (HPR) and Multi-Node Persistent Sessions (MNPS). From the session monitor, you can now see the current session route information for HPR-capable sessions, including those parts of the route that have been switched. You can also see the new session route information for sessions that have been recovered by VTAM's MNPS support.
- Expanded Support for LE/370
NetView for OS/390 allows a choice of the High Level Language you can run. NetView for OS/390 allows you to run either AD/Cycle (R) LE/370 or a combination of PL/1 and C/370 as your High Level Language.
- Multiple Enhancements to NetView GMF, Including Support for
Session Data
You no longer need to use a NetView 3270 session to retrieve basic information from the session monitor. Additional function and expanded integration are provided from NGMF, reducing the need for 3270 screens. The session monitor's session list function is now provided from NGMF. You can display session list information for a resource to either all other session partners or to a specified partner. You can also display from NGMF the meaning of any sense codes that are indicated in this session list information. In addition, the session list information is available in message form to automation routines.
Additionally, the following NGMF functions and enhancements were added:
- Sample routines are supplied that provide an IML capability for 3174 controllers directly from NGMF.
- Span of control for NGMF now includes span checking for the
following options on the Set Operator Status and Clear Operator
Status functions of the Resource pull-down menu:
- Marker
- Suspended Manually Clear
- Suspended Automatically Clear
- A new NetView for OS/390 setting allows operators to use a NetView Version 3 Release 1 Graphic Data Server to communicate with the NetView for OS/390 host programs during your migration to NetView for OS/390.
- The Automated Operations Network component now sets the RODM "Automation in Progress" status when it attempts to recover failed resources. By letting operators know which resource outages are being handled by automation routines, this new Automated Operations Network feature allows operators to concentrate only on resources that are not being recovered by Automated Operations Network.
- The automatic NetView Autotask Logon at NGMF operator logon.
- The capability to logon NGMF Server with a fully qualified LU name.
- Ability to Dynamically Control Access to Resources
NetView for OS/390's span of control function defines which resources can be accessed by an operator. This function is enhanced to use a NetView for OS/390 span table. This table enables you to define named spans that contain not only resource names but also view names. The resource and view names in the table entries can include wild-card specifications. This table can be updated and reloaded using the REFRESH command without restarting NetView. The table is maintained independently from the VTAMLST and RODM object definitions. In addition, the SECMIGR command has been enhanced to provide migration from the existing span of control definitions to the new NetView for OS/390 span table.
- Security Enhancements to NGMF Views
A new NetView for OS/390 feature allows you to use NetView for OS/390 span table definitions to restrict operators from displaying specified NGMF views or resources within views. The resources and/or views are specified in the NetView for OS/390 span table. You can specify the following for each operator:
- Whether the operator's authority is limited for displaying NGMF views, resources, or both
- Whether objects the operator is not authorized to see will be visible as null objects or hidden from the operator's view
- Whether the NGMF operator will receive a notification when a span-restricted view cannot be displayed or when at least one resource is excluded from the view displayed to the operator
- Whether the NGMF operator will receive a notification when at least one view name is excluded from a span-restricted view list displayed to the operator
- Ability to Run Multiple NetView for OS/390 Graphical Enterprise
Options on One MVS Image
With past NetView releases, you could run two sets of NetView on the same system, but you could not have full function on both NetViews. NetView for OS/390 allows you to run two graphical NetView for OS/390s on the same system, with both controlling graphical workstations. In this context, a graphical NetView for OS/390 release refers to the combination of the NetView component of NetView for OS/390, RODM, and GMFHS.
This new function can give you the flexibility to keep a stable production environment using your current NetView release while you are installing and customizing the new NetView for OS/390 release. It could also be used to divide the work in your network. While one NetView for OS/390 performs systems automation functions, using a combination of NetView for OS/390 and either AOC or Systems Automation for OS/390, a second NetView for OS/390 could be used to perform network management and network automation functions, using the functions of the NetView, MultiSystem Manager, and Automated Operations Network components.
- Enhancements to the Hardware Monitor
The Hardware Monitor alert wrap count has been increased to 9999.
- Performance and Serviceability Enhancements to RODM
RODM now has an improved locking structure that eliminates the need to explicitly lock and unlock objects. An added benefit of this feature is significantly improved RODM performance. RODM also requires less storage for objects. Additionally, several new dump options are also provided for RODM. Some options allow you to limit the number of dumps taken within a time interval and to expand the scope of a dump. One option allows you take a dump when an abend occurs while copying user data.
- Performance and Serviceability Enhancements to GMFHS: Trace data
from the GMFHS can be sent to the GTF. This eliminates the need
to recycle GMFHS to see logged trace entries.
GMFHS is modified to use the Hardware Monitor Alerts database.
- Enhanced NetView for OS/390 Help Facility:
- NetView Help Desk
The NetView help desk provides information to assist you in performing network management functions, including problem determination. Information includes the following:
- Table of contents

- NetView for OS/390 Message and Command Help Information
NetView for OS/390 message and command help information is now stored as members of a partitioned data set. NetView for OS/390 no longer uses VSAM files to store this information. This results in more flexibility for customizing the help information. You can also locate specific information through the FIND command and through scrolling, and you now have wide/deep screen support for help.
- NetView Help Desk
- Enhancements to the Log Browse Facility: Two new commands have
been added to the log browse facility. Once you access the log
browse facility by entering the BROWSE command, you can now
quickly locate and display the records you want to see.
- The LOCATE command allows you to position your log browse display to a given line number or date and time.
- The ALL command allows you to display either a subset or all of the records in the log browse facility.
The BLOG command, which was shipped as a sample in previous releases, is now part of the NetView for OS/390 product. Like BROWSE, the BLOG command gives you access to the log browse facility. You can use BLOG to display a subset of records in the log. Once you have accessed the log with the BLOG command, you can also use the new ALL command to display all the log records or to change the display filter. While a log browse request is in progress, you can now press Enter to cancel this request without having to exit the browse facility.
Additionally, log browse requests that result in the reading of a large number of log records now have improved response times.
- Installation Enhancements
The NetView Installation and Administration Facility/2 (NIAF/2) is a workstation-based installation tool that allows new users and users migrating from NetView V1R3, V2R3, V2R4, or V3R1 to install the TME 10 NetView for OS/390 program, as well as perform administrative tasks.

- The DSIEX17 installation exit has been enhanced to give you additional choices for automating action messages and DOM (delete operator message) signals.
- The new LOADEXIT statement has been added to DSIDMN. This statement allows you to load installation exits selectively. You no longer need to load all installation exits.
- Support for Internationalized Date and Time Formats
NetView for OS/390 now includes new parameters that allow you to customize the long and short formats for the dates and times displayed in many host NetView for OS/390 functions. The OVERRIDE command also supports these new parameters. This means you can specify date and time formats for NetView for OS/390 in general, and then override the defaults for specific operators.
Note: This customization support for dates and times is not uniform throughout all components of NetView for OS/390. However, most host NetView components, including the ones listed here, will support your specified customization parameters:
- Host-based screen displays for major NetView for OS/390 components, such as the session monitor, status monitor, hardware monitor, and command facility
- All host NetView component commands
- All host NetView component messages
- Automatic Logoff of Inactive NetView User IDs
Non-SNA Management: Integrated MultiSystem Manager Component
The MultiSystem Manager product has been integrated into NetView for OS/390. NetView for OS/390 provides the management support for a wide range of heterogeneous networks. The MultiSystem Manager component can provide the dynamic topology discovery and status of non-SNA resources. Its expanded function now supports all the following types of networks:
- IBM OS/2 LAN Network Manager (LNM) networks
- Novell NetWare networks
- IBM LAN NetView Management Utilities (LMU) networks
- Internet Protocol (IP) networks using IBM NetView for AIX (R)
- NetFinity (R) networks
- Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks
Using the Open Topology Interface along with the MultiSystem Manager component topology features for managing LAN physical media, NetWare servers and requesters, Internet Protocol resources, LAN NetView Management Utilities resources, NetFinity resources, and ATM resources, NetView for OS/390 provides you with a unique opportunity to manage the diverse resources in your network from a single NetView Graphic Monitor Facility screen.
Managing your network resources from the mainframe with the MultiSystem Manager component of NetView for OS/390 provides value in the following areas:
- Correlation facility, enabling correlation of all resources that
may affect the network.
- Improved centralized control by dynamically collecting, storing,
and updating resource topology and status data in RODM for use by
the NetView Graphic Monitor Facility (NGMF). This saves the
operations staff from the overwhelming job of manual data entry
and maintenance.
- Customized views created with the BLDVIEWS utility are easy to
understand, allowing operators to focus on failing resources
quickly. The BLDVIEWS utility lets the system programmer create
views and aggregate resources using simple control cards.
- Improved operator productivity in using the MultiSystem Manager
provided Command Tree/2 command sets. This allows the operations
staff to issue object-specific commands to system resources using
point-and-click technology without learning sets of commands and
command syntax.
- Increased operations effectiveness by allowing operators to easily
isolate the source of problems detected by different agents.
- Enhanced automated operations since topology and status updates are received by NetView for OS/390 and automatically stored in RODM. This enables resource topology and status information to be automated using NetView for OS/390 and RODM automation techniques.
- Management of ATM and NetFinity resources from NGMF has been
centralized. ATM and NetFinity resources are dynamically
discovered by MultiSystem Manager and stored in RODM.
- Performance for the discovery and update process for resources
managed by an open-topology agent has been improved. The new ATM
and NetFinity features have been designed to take advantage of
these performance enhancements.
- Exception view processing, RODM access, and alert processing have
been enhanced for improved performance.
- NetView for OS/390 sample CNMSJH12 can now be used to load the
MultiSystem Manager data model as well as the GMFHS/SNA Topology
Manager data model. This provides a faster, simpler way to load
the data models.
- NetView for OS/390 span of control enhancements have been enabled
for MultiSystem Manager views.
- The LAN Network Manager (LNM) feature has been enhanced to
discover and display remote and parallel bridges.
- GETTOPO command processing has been enhanced so your BLDVIEWS
customization is no longer affected by ReDiscovery (R) of
resources in your network.
- The MultiSystem Manager component of NetView for OS/390 now
discovers additional relationships between resources managed by
different agents. Existing topology correlation by LAN MAC
address has been expanded to also discover when resources on the
same workstation share the same TCP/IP address. For example, TME
10 software and a LAN adapter card residing on the same server
will both be shown in a lower-level NGMF view of that workstation.
- The correlation function now runs faster, can be customized, and provides additional information about correlated resources. Operators can now diagnose complex problems more easily. For example, an operator can now determine that the cause of an ATM switch failure is actually a failure in the underlying TCP/IP adapter, which is reported by a different management agent.
Automation: Integrated AON/MVS Component
The Automated Operations Network/MVS product has been integrated into NetView for OS/390. The Automated Operations Network component enables you to implement network automation without writing procedures, yet it can be easily extended to meet your unique networking requirements. It enhances the network management function provided by the NetView component by providing cost-effective, automated network operations facilities. These facilities improve controls, which enhance operator productivity and network availability.
Automated Operations Network provides a single, integrated, automated solution for diverse environments, including SNA, TCP/IP, VTAM Subarea, X.25, APPN, and token-ring LANs. It provides the drop-in automation policy and routines necessary to automate network recovery and increase availability of your network. The drop-in automation policy can be easily extended to suit your environment.
The AON base toolkit also allows you to leverage IBM's overall automation knowledge if you choose to write your own automation routines. For example, by using AON's threshold correlation routines, you can leverage AON's base toolkit to get your own automation up and running more quickly as a result.
Highlights of the expanded function, improved performance, and enhanced usability and installation functions that improve your ability to manage network automation are as follows.
- Improved automation performance is provided through:
- Quicker access to the AON Common Global variables.
- Improved routing of AON commands between components.
- Improved handling of VTAM messages.
- AON will now set the RODM "Automation In Progress" status so your
NGMF operators can quickly determine when automation is already
handling a resource outage.
- Installation exit DSIEX19 can now be used for security
authorization on the commands sent to the IBM LAN Network Manager
(LNM) product. Any command sent to LNM for LAN automation tasks
can be restricted from use by any operator you specify.
- More than two auto-tasks can now be specified for SNA automation
and AON message processing. This improves overall system
performance and prevents delays in auto-task processing. Support
is also provided for the new AIPOPER class of auto-tasks. These
auto-tasks are used to set the RODM "Automation in Progress"
status.
- A new option in the AON trace facility allows you to turn off
tracing altogether. This reduces NetView for OS/390 overhead and
improves performance. When you need to run a trace, you can
enable tracing easily from the AON operator interface.
- The NCP Recovery function supports using the NCP load module name
or PU name during the recovery processes.
- You can decide whether NCPs are status-checked during AON
initialization, and you can invoke recovery processing for NCPs
that are down.
- The SNA automation feature can now recover dynamic resources that
VTAM may not know about after a failure occurs.
- The LAN Automation feature can now distinguish between traditional 2-port bridges and multiport bridges. This information helps you solve problems quicker using the LAN HelpDesk and gives you more accurate performance statistics for multiport bridges.

System Integrity
IBM will accept APARs where the installation of NetView for OS/390 introduces an exposure to the system integrity of the operating system. NetView for OS/390 is intended to run authorized in the operating system environment.
Security, Auditability, and Control
Security and auditability features of NetView for OS/390 include:
- Operator Logon Security: NetView facilities check an operator's
authorization prior to NetView use. The logon authorization
information can be stored in NetView or in security software, such
as RACF. An authorized NetView for OS/390 operator or automated
operator establishes the session used for the transfer of graphic
status data between the host and workstation.
- NGMF View Authorization: An NGMF operator can be restricted to a
subset of views or resources within views. NGMF view
authorization information can be stored in NetView or in security
software, such as RACF.
- Resource Control Authorization: An operator may be restricted to
a subset of network resources. Resource control authorization
information can be stored in NetView for OS/390 or in security
software, such as RACF.
- Command Authorization: An operator can be restricted to a subset
of the commands available through NetView for OS/390.
Authorization checking support also extends to keywords and values
of ACF/VTAM commands. The command authorization authority
information can be stored in NetView for OS/390 or in security
software, such as RACF.
- Administrative Security: NGMF Administrative tasks are allowed on
any workstation by operators that have been authorized. These can
be kept in a restricted access area.
- Auditability: Operator messages and commands are logged. Logging can provide a hard copy audit trail of network operation activities. When commands are protected using RACF or the NetView command authorization table, SMF records can be generated for all commands or for specific commands.
If sensitive data is sent over external communication facilities, user management may wish to use cryptography.
The NetView Graphic Monitor Facility on the workstation uses the protection features of OS/2 that relate to memory access and the use of system-controlled resources.
User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communication facilities.
