Operating System/400, 5769-SS1
The AS/400e 270 and 8xx servers use a parallel interface, Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP),
to connect the Remote Control Panel. The PC used must have an EPP-capable port.
Operations Navigator can be enabled from the Operations Console. These enhancements
include:
– Centralizing all your system management functions through a single ASYNC
connection to the AS/400 system using the AS/400 console and remote AS/400
Control Panel capabilities and Operations Navigator on one PC.
– Writing Windows 95 and Windows NT applications to perform AS/400 Control Panel
functions with a published AS/400 Control Panel sockets API.
– Dial-up local controlling system (LCS) for Operations Console allows you to remotely
connect an LCS through your ECS modem. It is activated from the system control
panel by an onsite operator. There is no support for Remote Control Panel with this
feature.
Refer to “AS/400 Operations Console” on page 619 for more information on Operations
Console.
Management Central Enhancements with V4R5
For system management, Management Central at V4R5 adds two new CPU utilization
metrics to help target detailed data about the AS/400 system performance. By designing CPU
utilization metrics that specific target your type of workload, IBM helps you gain an accurate
understanding of how your system is performing given its unique workloads and demands.
• CPU Utilization (Interactive Feature): This metric is designed to help you monitor
and mange your use of interactive capability. It determines whether a particular job is
doing interactive work and measures the system’s overall interactive workload.
This new metric was designed especially with the new AS/400 Interactive Feature in mind
but can be used with earlier AS/400 models where interactive capability is of interest. It
complements the existing Management Central metrics such as CPU Utilization
(Interactive Jobs0 and CPU Utilization (Average). The new metric shows you when your
AS/400 system is approaching its interactive thresholds, helping you to get optimal
performance and throughput on your server.
• CPU Utilization - Secondary Workloads: This metric is used on AS/400e Dedicated
Servers. For example, this metric can be used on the AS/400e Dedicated Server for
Domino to see how much non-Domino work is being performed. Because the AS/400e
Dedicated Server for Domino is used as a server devoted to Domino work, this metric
helps you identify and manage those workloads not directly contributing to that
primary workload. As with interactive utilization, managing secondary workloads helps
you maintain optimal system performance.
