| What does CleverView for TCP/IP do? |
CleverView for TCP/IP is a
real-time network performance monitor for the TCP/IP
transaction environment. It provides critical workload
information on such applications as FTP, SMTP, and Telnet, as
well as the socket-attached TCP/IP based OLTP environment.
Uses for CleverView for TCP/IP include the following:
- establishing TCP/IP mission critical application service
level objectives
- reporting service level performance on a routine
basis
- identifying the high-demand workload periods
- trending based on historical data for network response
time issues and planning purposes
- identifying performance bottlenecks before users
complain
- monitoring in real time
- command submission to the mainframe host(s), as well as
sending alerts to the operator console
- planning for networked mission critical transactions on
a proactive basis
CleverView for TCP/IP is designed
to help performance analysts, operations personnel, network
system programmers, and capacity planners effectively monitor
performance, troubleshoot problems, and plan for the future.

| Does Enterprise Extender Expert provide information on
EE Connections, APPN/HPR Connections, or UDP Port? |
Yes. Enterprise Extender Expert
shows:
- Connection status and traffic data for EE
Connections
- Session information about HPR pipes, including current
data and connection state, as well as flow and fault
information for APPN/HPR Connections
- Real-time EE UDP workload data for EE assigned port for
UDP Port
| |
| What alerting capabilities are provided for
HPR-EE? |
| HPR-EE Alerts focus on the
primary indicators of HPR-EE link health: link state
availability and the number of active sessions. Alerts for EE
Connections include Minimum Active EE Sessions, NLP
Retransmits, and Number of SR Retries. Alerts for HPR
Connections include Minimum Active LU-LU Sessions, HPR
Connection State, and Path Now
Switching. | |
| What real-time capabilities does CleverView for TCP/IP
include? |
CleverView for TCP/IP provides both Real-Time Packet Tracing and
Real-Time Monitoring capabilities. Functions with real-time
capabilities include the following:
- Snapshot 每 Real-time performance and workload
information for applications and clients, in terms of
response time for bytes transferred and number of sessions
(through the Resource Performance reports: Average Response
Time, Network Health, and Packet Performance)
- LinkView 每 Real-time Channel Processor Monitoring
for TCP/IP
- Monitor 每 Real-time,on-line data regarding your
operating environment for devices and applications using the
MVS TCP/IP address space
- Buffers 每 Real-time monitoring of CSM and VTAM
buffer status
- Connect Expert 每 Real-time UDP data (EE workload
for assigned ports and non-EE session connectivity) and
real-time monitoring of your sockets and the connectivity to
all sessions running over TCP/
IP
|
|
| What near-time capabilities does CleverView for TCP/IP
offer? |
CleverView for TCP/IP also provides near-time monitoring capabilities.
Functions with near-time capabilities include the following:
- LinkView 每 Near-time IP throughput information on
channel-attached devices (through the Thru24 IP Summary/
Detail reports)
- Enterprise Extender Expert 每 Near-time EE
throughput information on EE assigned ports (through the
Thru24 EE Summary/Detail
reports)

| What reports are available in CleverView for
TCP/IP? |
History
Reports
CleverView for TCP/IP views the TCP/IP network
performance from the enterprise level to the remote user
connection. Performance indicators are available for workload,
usage, and response time. The history reports are available
immediately after the Host Monitor is brought up. They
include:
- Buffer
- CSM 每 Usage and alerts for CSM buffer
pools
- VTAM 每 Usage and trends for VTAM buffer
pools
- Expert Reports
- FTP Expert 每 Session-based FTP (client or
server)
- TCP Expert 每 Session-based Socket
applications
- Telnet Expert 每 Session-based Telnet (client or
server)
- Link Performance
- Thru99 EE 每 Interval-based throughput summaries
for Enterprise Extender (UDP-based) data traffic by
port
- Thru99 Link 每 Interval-based throughput
summaries for TCP/IP data traffic to/from IP channel
links
- Resource Performance
- Response Time 每 Average response times for the
test done by the host and on the varying number of bytes
sent in the tests set up through the Master
workstation
- Service Level Response Time 每 Critical
resources that have exceeded the user-defined service goal
for response time
- Trace Route 每 TCP/IP route and segment
information
- Workload
- Application 每 Information about applications
running on a network, such as Top Number of Bytes and
Usage Details
- Client 每 Information about clients running on a
network, such as Top Number of Bytes and Usage
Details

SessionLog Reports
The
SessionLog Expert allows viewing of near time or current time
sessions, that is, sessions that are either currently active
or have recently happened. The definition of "recently" is
determined by the installation and is set in the parameters
for the FTP or SMF exits. SessionLog requires that the FTP and
SMF exits have been previously installed on the host.
SessionLog divides data into seven logs under two categories:
FTP and TCP.
- FTP
- FTP Error Log 每 Subset of the FTP SMF Log that
provides detail on FTP errors
- FTP Log 每 Provides details on completed
FTPs
- FTP Server Activity Log 每 Shows commands
entered for completed and in-progress FTPs
- TCP
- MQ Log 每 Defines one or more ports that are
being listened on by MQ Series. These ports will be used
for selecting MQ session data for reporting purposes
- TCP Log 每 Details API sessions that are
completed or still active by capturing the initiation and
termination events. It includes all socket-attached
applications
- Telnet Log 每 Shows the details on Telnet
sessions that are completed or are still active. Logon and
logoff events are captured
- Websphere Log 每 Defines one or more ports that
are being listened on by WebSphere. These ports will be
used for selecting WebSphere session data for reporting
purposes
|
SnapShot Reports
The
SnapShot Reports provide data on current activity that has not
yet been placed in the VSAM history files. The SnapShot
reports are divided into three sections:
- Workload
- Application Reports
- Client Reports
- Resource Performance
- Network Health
- Average Response Time
- Packet Performance Detail
- Link Performance
