Chapter 15 TIBCO Object Service Broker Netview Support : Activating Netview Support

Activating Netview Support
Requirements
To activate TIBCO Object Service Broker Netview support, complete the following steps.
Step 1: Install Netview
Ensure that Netview is installed on the system.
Step 2: Make Netview Available to TIBCO Object Service Broker
The Netview runtime libraries must be available to TIBCO Object Service Broker, either via concatenation in the STEPLIB or in the link list. Contact your systems programer and review Netview requirements for your installation.
Step 3: Set Netview User-Defined Code Points
Netview User-Defined Code Points
The Netview User Defined Code Points are code values that IBM set aside for user applications. The range of codes is from x'E000' (57344) to x'EFFF' (61439). TIBCO Object Service Broker uses user codes for the Alert Descriptor and Probable Cause code points.
Setting the Base Code Point
For ease of installation, the base code point for the descriptor and cause are the same. If no other application uses user code points, use x'E000' as the base code point. The base code point indicator is passed in decimal format to TIBCO Object Service Broker during startup in the NETVIEWBASE parameter. The valid range of NETVIEWBASE is 0 through 16.
The formula used to calculate the actual base point is (value-1) * x'0100' + x'E000'. If the resulting value is zero, Netview support is not enabled.
Required User Code Points
The following are the user code points that must be added to the Netview tables. In each line, xx should be replaced to correspond to the formula described for NETVIEWBASE. If specified as 1, use x'E0'; if 5, use x'E4'.
In user defined code point table BNJ92UTB:

 
xx00 N HURON NOTIFICATION;
xx01 N HURON OPERATOR ALERT;
xx02 N HURON COMMITS SUSPENDED;

 
In user defined code point table BNJ93UTB:

 
xx01 N JOURNALS FULL;
xx02 N JOURNALS SPINNING;
xx03 N JOURNALS SPUN
xx04 N JRNL SPIN DEFERRED;
xx05 N JOURNAL FAILURE;
xx06 N THRESHOLD LIMITS;
xx07 N ACTIVATED
xx08 N SHUTDOWN
xx09 N ABNORMALLY ENDED;
xx0A N ABEND RECOVERY;
xx0B N I/O FAILURE;

 
Step 4: Set NETVIEWBASE Parameter
The NETVIEWBASE parameter must be set in the Data Object Broker’s startup parameter list.
