OS 2200 System Properties

The following table describes the properties displayed in the details pane for a managed OS 2200 system. Use this table to help you interpret and enter data in the details pane.

Property	Definition
Class	Indicates the fully qualified class of the object. Used to match events reports to the object. This property is read-only.
Instance	Indicates the fully qualified instance of the object. Used to match events reports to the object. This property is read-only.
Label	Specifies the name that identifies this managed object in a topology.
Persist	Controls whether or not this object is retained when the Operations Sentinel Services are terminated. Use the arrow () in the Persist property to select True or False.
Notes	A multiline property that you can use however you choose. You can alter its value by running the SPO.MakeNote external application for the managed device.
Default Action	Indicates the external application that is initiated when you double-click the OS 2200 system or press Enter while it is selected in a table or topology. Use the arrow () in the Default Action property to select one of the available external applications for the OS 2200 system or <None>. The default action is<Default>, followed by the name of default action. <None> available as a selection and indicates no action. The list of available actions can include external applications you have defined and predefined actions supplied by Unisys. The external applications included in the selection list depend on the Object Filters you specify in the External Applications node. The default action you specify for an individual system has precedence over the default action specified for the OS 2200 Systems class.
Identifier	Specifies the name of a system preceded by the names of the objects that contain it. For example, the identifier of a system in a server is server.system . This property is read-only.
Image	Displays the image that represents the system in a topology. The default value of this property is the default specified for the OS 2200 Systems object class. To select an image different from the default, click the arrow () in the Image property. The new image should be small for better performance and visibility. Regardless of the type or size you use, Operations Sentinel automatically converts the image into a 24 x 24 bitmap. You must know where the new image file is stored to select it for the Image property. See Changing the Image Property for an example of how to use this property.
Name	Displays the name by which the system is known within Operations Sentinel. It is recommended that you specify a system name that matches the system’s external network name. The name is used in alerts and log files to identify the system; it is also the image label for the system in a topology. You can rename an OS 2200 system by editing this property. The name of the new system Must be unique; no other system defined in the Managed Objects node can have the same name. Cannot be more than 64 characters in length. Cannot contain any of the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > \| Cannot start with a period (.). If you change the name of an OS 2200 partition in the Site Configuration Management System (SCMS), then you must change the name in Operations Sentinel Console to match the new partition name. No connection occurs if the partition name defined using SCMS does not match the partition name you defined in Operations Sentinel Console. After you rename and save an OS 2200 system, messages and event reports for the system are written to log files with the new name. However, any existing Operations Sentinel log files for that system are not renamed.
Server	For Dorado 4000 systems, this is the SMC Domain name defined in OS 2200 Server Management Control (SMC). For other types of Dorado systems, this is the name of the server the OS 2200 belongs to. Use the arrow () in the Server property to select a previously defined server or < None >.
Tag	A property that your site can use however you choose. You do not need to specify a Tag value when you define an OS 2200 system. You might want to use the Tag property as an identifier to make filtering of managed objects easier. A consistent scheme for Tag values can eliminate the need for complex filters or naming conventions. See Setting the Tag Property for an example of how to use this property.
Exec Level	Provides the level identification of the EXEC on which the system is running. This property is read-only.
External Network Name	Specifies the Internet name of the system. The External Network Name is made available to external applications launched for an OS 2200 system. You can specify a different External Network Name by editing this property. The default external network name is typically the same as the name of the system. You can leave this property blank if your external applications do not require the external network name of the system. The external network name must be included in the hosts file on the Operations Sentinel server, in the Domain Name Server, or in the Windows Internet Naming Service. Before you edit the External Network Name value, it is recommended that you first add or change the desired name in the hosts file on the Operations Sentinel server, in the Domain Name Server, or in the Windows Internet Naming Service.
Data Initialization Command	Specifies the data initialization command for the OS 2200 system. This command is automatically sent to the system when the Operations Sentinel services first establishes a connection to the system and is recognized by the Operations Sentinel data collector running on the OS 2200 system.
Command Security	Specifies the level of security access for the submission of commands to the system through command event reports. Use the arrow () in the Command Security property to select one of the following: NoAccess Command event reports for this system are discarded. AutomationAccess Command event reports originating in an autoaction database managed by SP-AMS and CP-AMS are allowed. All others are discarded. UnlimitedAccess Command event reports from all sources are allowed, including the Single Point Interface Pipe and client programs built using the Event Server API.

OS 2200 System Parameters

There are several OS 2200 system parameters that you can monitor that are included in the details pane for an OS 2200 system. These parameters are from the continuous display of consoles associated with the system.

The following table describes the OS 2200 parameters shown in the details pane. Each of these read-only parameters raise an alert if it satisfies the threshold condition set for it by the Operations Sentinel administrator.

Parameter	Alert Identifier	Definition
A Hold	_OSAHold	If true, all batch runs in backlog are held (A hold). The hold is caused by a CS H keyin or because the mass storage limit for the system has been reached.
D Hold	_OSDHold	If true, the system has a hold on new demand runs (D hold). The hold is caused by a CS HD keyin.
E Hold	_OSExpoolHold	If true, EXPOOL space on the system is low (E hold). Insufficient EXPOOL space is available to open additional runs.
I Hold	_OSIHold	If true, the system has a one or more runs suspended (I hold). The hold is caused by an SP run-id keyin.
L Hold	_OSLHold	If true, the system has a hold on new demand terminals (L hold). The hold is caused by a CS HT keyin.
M Hold	_OSMSHold	If true, the system has a mass storage hold (M hold). Mass storage facilities or cataloged files are not available on the system.
O Hold	_OSMessageHold	If true, the system has at least one outstanding read-and-replay message for an onsite or remote console.
R Hold	_OSRHold	If true, one or more runs on the system is being held due to a CS H keyin.
T Hold	_OSTapeHold	If true, the system has a tape hold (T hold). Tape or other peripheral facilities are not available. This includes tape units, removable disk units, reel-ids, ACS queries, and facilities other than mass storage space and cataloged mass storage files.
Holds	_OSHolds	Includes a letter that represents each reason that runs are being held on the system, such as T for tape unit availability. For example, if EXPOOL space on the system is low, and there is an outstanding read-and-reply message, but no other holds, the value of Holds is EO.
