the

Web

console,

the

reporting

system,

and

the

executive

v

There

is

a

new

concept

called

Business

System

Shortcuts.

Previously,

when

copies

of

resources

were

made

in

the

business

system

tree,

the

console

displayed

the

original

resource

because

the

properties

of

the

original

resource

and

its

copies

could

not

be

changed

independently.

You

can

configure

the

copy

differently

from

the

original

resource.

The

copy

is

called

a

shortcut.

There

is

a

visual

indicator

on

the

shortcut

icon

and

you

can

change

shortcut

settings,

or

you

can

restore

its

properties

to

those

of

the

original.

Some

operations

are

only

allowed

with

non-shortcuts.

Refer

to

the

IBM

Tivoli

Business

Systems

Manager

Administrator’s

Guide

and

the

information

in

the

Task

Assistant

for

more

information

about

business

system

shortcuts.

v

In

the

console,

the

Business

System

Topology

view

displays

business

system

resources

instead

of

physical

resources.

In

addition,

when

there

are

business

system

shortcuts,

the

shortcuts

are

displayed

instead

of

the

source

business

systems.

Any

existing

links

or

connections

created

between

physical

resources

or

source

business

systems

are

displayed

in

the

view.

a

new

consolidated

notes

view,

a

full

notes

history,

a

properties

notebook,

the

ability

to

add

remarks

to

when

taking

ownership.

There

is

a

new

Search

menu

on

the

console.

The

old

Find

menu

under

the

Edit

menu

is

relocated

to

the

Search

menu.

The

Search

All

Resources

submenu

enables

you

to

find

resources

with

known

names

or

of

known

resource

types

without

navigating

to

them

manually.

Refer

to

the

Task

Assistant

IBM

Tivoli

Business

Systems

Manager

Introducing

the

Consoles

for

information.

v

When

you

open

or

save

a

workspace

in

the

console,

Tivoli

Business

Systems

Manager

remembers

which

tree

branches

were

expanded

and

which

were

collapsed

the

last

time

you

saved

your

workspace.

v

There

is

an

additional

column

in

the

physical

tree

to

identify

the

ancestors

of

objects

and

events.

v

You

can

view

either

the

full

name

or

the

user

name

of

an

operator.

v

The

following

enhancements

were

made

to

the

reporting

system:

operating

system

groups

or

repository

through

the

WebSphere

Application

Server.

application

supports

There

is

a

new

Tivoli

Business

Systems

Manager

Topology

view

for

DB2®

and

IMS™

resources.

It

helps

operators

isolate

DB2

and

IMS

problems

by

graphically

DB2

relationships,

IMS

relationships

and

the

following

relationships:

Relationships

between

resources

on

different

operating

systems

in

the

same

Sysplex.

Relationships

between

IRLM

regions

in

the

same

IRLM

group,

CQS

regions

in

group,

and

all

regions

within

the

same

IMSPlex.

Relationships

between

parent

resources

and

child

resources.

Relationships

to

other

feed

resources.

For

example,

a

DB2

Topology

view

for

a

DB2

subsystem

shows

related

IMS

subsystems

and

CICS®

regions.

v

Using

resource

level

propagation,

you

can

set

exception

and

child

event

thresholds

for

individual

resources.

It

allows

different

thresholds

for

resources

in

the

physical

tree

and

for

each

copy

of

the

resource

in

a

business

system.

You

can

configure

resource

level

propagation

using

the

console,

a

command

command,

the

XML

toolkit,

or

Automated

Business

Systems.

Refer

to

the

IBM

(PBT)

is

a

its

state

derived

from

the

collective

state

of

the

resources

Resources

include

regions,

files,

transactions,

CORBA

servers,

and

DB2

connections.

Discovery

is

performed

using

a

batch

job

which

uses

a

generic

EXCI

interface

to

detect

resources

online,

or

extracts

the

resources

from

the

appropriate

CICS

CSD.

IMS:

You

can

no

longer

Instead,

you

can

run

NetView

batch

job.

You

can

set

this

batch

job

to

be

an

automated

batch

job

so

You

can

also

configure

automatic

following

enhancements:

Physical

placement

rules

-

These

rules

give

you

more

control

of

the

placement

of

resource

in

the

physical

hierarchy.

The

earlier

table-based

TCP

Hostname

Manipulation

-

The

TCP

hostname

can

be

further

manipulated

prior

name

can

be

built

dynamically

using

the

operating

system

type

as

well

as

the

shortened

or

full

length

hostname.

The

display

name

can

optionally

have

@tcphostname

appended

to

it.

this

was

always

appended.

Optional

DNS

/

OS

Type

Lookup

-

Setting

that

optionally

uses

DNS

to

look

up

the

fully

qualified

TCP/IP

hostname.

This

optional

setting

can

either

disable

DNS

lookup

completely,

or

it

can

allow

one

lookup

on

a

resource,

after

which

further

lookups

are

not

performed

on

that

resource.

Event

Caching

-

Events

from

Tivoli

Enterprise

Console

are

cached

when

the

event

enablement

daemon

is

not

running,

reducing

the

chance

of

lost

events

if

the

daemon

is

recycled.

Substitutions

on

ihstttec

flags

-

Symbolic

variables

can

be

used

to

dynamically

build

the

display

name,

class

name,

and

instance

id

names.

These

variables

include

the

following:

-

OS

type

-

fully

qualified

TCP/IP

hostname

-

manipulated

TCP/IP

Problem:

The

command,

if

the

schema

location

value

contains

type

of

failure

only

occurs

on

validation,

so

if

the

command

is

run

without

the

ordering

of

text

in

window

titles

cannot

be

controlled

by

the

Tivoli

Business

Systems

Manager

console.

This

depends

on

the

operating

system,

Java

version,

default

locale

and

keyboard

locale.

You

can

set

the

text

to

be

right-aligned

if

the

default

keyboard

locale

is

set

as

Hebrew,

however

the

text

ordering

might

still

be

incorrect.

Workaround:

There

is

no

workaround

at

this

time.

v

Problem:

Some

menu

items

may

not

be

addressable

with

mnemonics.

This

is

due

to

Workaround:

Use

the

F10

key

to

enable

the

menu

bar

and

use

the

arrow

v

Problem:

Clicking

the

clock

icon

on

the

Create

Time

filter

while

refining

the

search

of

the

notes

view,

opens

an

inoperable

JavaScript

panel.

Workaround:

To

provide

a

time

filter,

type

the

time

value

directly

in

the

field.

Limitation

using

the

executive

dashboard

in

Hebrew

Problem:

The

assistant

in

Hebrew

and

Arabic

Problem:

When

viewing

the

Task

Assistant

in

Hebrew

and

Arabic,

you

might

notice

the

following

issues:

v

In

the

same

Arabic

word

some

characters

are

bold

and

others

are

not

bold.

v

Some

of

the

dots

that

appear

under

some

of

the

Arabic

characters

are

not

directly

under

the

character

but

instead

are

shifted

to

the

bottom.

v

Sentences

that

contain

some

special

characters

(for

example,

the

hyphen

(-)

or

that

contain

images

in

the

middle

of

the

sentence

cause

the

Arabic

segments

to

be

ordered

in

the

wrong

way.

v

Brackets

that

are

found

at

the

end

of

the

sentence

are

reordered

in

the

wrong

location.

Workaround:

Launch

the

Task

Assistant

in

an

external

browser.

To

enable

the

Task

Assistant

in

a

separate

browser,

do

the

following

steps:

1.

Go

to

Console

–>

Preferences

–>

General

and

click

Use

a

web

browser.

2.

Click

Preferences

dialog

and

make

sure

instead.

Console

locale

limitation

Problem:

Each

Tivoli

Business

Systems

Manager

userid

can

be

used

only

in

v

Log

off

the

userid

and

wait

at

least

30

minutes

v

Restart

the

WebSphere

Application

Server

that

hosts

the

console

server.

Running

the

console

in

different

locales

Problem:

The

title

bar

of

the

console

might

display

view

and

resource

names

incorrectly

if

the

console

is

running

in

a

different

locale

than

that

of

the

resource

name.

This

is

a

limitation

of

the

Windows

operating

system

and

affects

only

the

display

of

the

title

bar,

not

the

operation

of

the

console.

Workaround:

There

is

no

workaround

at

this

time.

Running

the

console

in

a

non-English

language

Problem:

When

running

the

console

in

non-English

languages,

the

welcome

image

might

be

displayed

with

vertical

spaces

in

the

image.

This

problem

is

cosmetic

only

and

does

not

affect

any

console

functions.

Workaround:

After

you

open

a

workspace,

or

if

a

workspace

is

opened

automatically

when

the

console

is

started,

the

welcome

image

is

correctly

replaced

by

the

workspace.

Running

the

console

using

Israel

Daylight

Time

Problem:

Because

start

and

end

dates

for

Israel

Daylight

Time

vary

from

year

to

year,

your

operating

system

may

not

support

Israel

Daylight

Time.

On

these

unsupported

systems,

manually

adjusting

your

system

clock

during

Daylight

Savings

Time

may

cause

timestamps

displayed

in

the

console

to

be

incorrect

by

the

amount

of

the

adjustment.

Workaround:

Use

Console

Preferences

to

select

a

time

zone

that

matches

your

local

time.

Time

zone

display

in

console

preferences

Problem:

On

the

General

tab

of

the

Console

Preferences

window,

you

can

select

the

current

time

zone

using

the

time

zone

drop-down

list.

This

list

displays

the

available

time

zones,

including

description

and

common

cities.

Depending

on

your

locale,

these

descriptions

might

be

displayed

in

the

English

language

and

not

the

current

language.

This

is

a

system

limitation

that

does

not

affect

the

actual

times

displayed

throughout

the

console,

only

the

descriptions

displayed

in

the

Console

Preferences

window.

Workaround:

There

is

no

workaround

at

this

time.

Using

the

Web

console

in

traditional

Chinese

Problem:

When

refining

the

search

of

notes,

the

Create

Time

field

dialog

is

formatted

improperly.

Workaround:

To

provide

a

filter

time,

ignore

the

time

chooser

window

and

type

the

time

directly.

Kanji

translation

of

messages

and

help

windows

Problem:

The

Kanji

translation

of

Tivoli

Business

Systems

Manager

messages

and

help

windows

that

are

displayed

on

the

NetView

z/OS

console

are

shipped

on

the

Tivoli

Business

tape

media.

Previously

they

were

shipped

as

part

of

a

NetView

z/OS

release

or

PTF.
