Netview Alerts
Overview
Overview
A NetView alert is information that is sent to the IBM remote system to
tell the IBM operator that an error or problem has occurred on the
HP 3000. (Note that NetView must be running on the IBM remote
system.) So, be aware that the IBM operator might contact you to check
on the status of the HP 3000 system if an alert is received at the remote
system console.
Two kinds of alerts can be sent:
• SNA Transport-generated
• Operator-generated
Since the alert is sent over the PU-SSCP session, SNA Transport does
the actual sending (regardless of whether SNA Transport or the
operator generated the alert).
