SP-AMS begins automating an MCP, UNIX, or Linux system when an SP-AMS database is activated and Operations Sentinel Console begins monitoring the system.
To activate a database
On the Tools menu, point to Automation and click Activate or click the SP-AMs Activate icon on the status bar.
The Select Database dialog box appears and lists the available databases. The current active database, if any, is preselected in this dialog box.
Select the database you want to activate.
Click OK.
After you activate the new database, its name appears in the ToolTip for the database icon on the status bar of Operations Sentinel Console and in the ToolTip for the Operations Sentinel server icon in the navigation pane.
