Tivoli NetView for z/OS provides the key capabilities and advanced functions to help you maintain the

highest degree of availability of your zSeries networks. It offers an extensive set of tools for managing and maintaining complex, multi-vendor, multiplatform networks and systems from a single point of control. NetView for z/OS brings advanced automation, support for both TCP/IP and SNA networks, and a set of UI's to meet every user's need. It also provides management functions that work in cooperation with other products. Features and capabilities of NetView for z/OS v5.2: Networking and Automation

Strengthened TCP/IP management capabilities with support for IPv6, automated response to intrusions, more in-depth IP connection management, and support for network address translation, to name just a few Automated message attribute handling - including the ability to intercept and modify or suppress original WTO, and WTORs -- extends NetView for z/OS message automation to facilitate and simplify operator interactions

Enhanced Enterprise Integration

A wide range of NetView for z/OS data is available in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, correlated with performance data from OMEGAMON for Mainframe Networks (see figure below). The NetView Web application is significantly expanded. In addition to broad ease-of-use enhancements, major new functions include o Management of TCP/IP availability and performance data from a single console through extensive integration and interoperability with OMEGAMON for Mainframe Networks, allowing customers to easily manage their IP environment o The ability to easily create base trouble tickets for Problem Management / Service Desk providers, including IBM Tivoli Information Management for z/OS and others

Customer Time to Value and Ease of Use

Extensive enhancements in the NetView for z/OS Style Sheet capabilities help customers more easily manage the complete NetView platform. Included are enhancements that help to quickly identify and manage parameter values, tower settings, and other configuration information that are in effect, and to ease the migration to the latest release Migration of command definitions, including customer-defined commands, is greatly simplified.

NetView for z/OS is designed to

Improve network efficiency and increase system availability Extend centralized management for mainframe TCP/IP and SNA networ environments Reduce or eliminate the need for operator intervention on system messages Manages larger networks, more resources and more systems with fewer resources and personnel, even from a single console

Features Advantages Interoperability with Consolidated TCP/IP OMEGAMON XE for workbench to manage Mainframe Networks both TCP/IP V3.1 and Tivoli availability and Enterprise Portal performance from a (TEP) single user interface TCP/IP packet trace Integrated, advanced and formatting, IP management tools intrusion detection, and TCP/IP connection management Enhanced operations / Improves and message management simplifies operator support interactions
