Nodes List

This list displays the Nodes known to the Univiewer Management Server and their status. The Management Server that UVC is connected to appears at the top of the list by default.

For advanced architecture:

• If UVC is connected to the UVMS master, the list contains a Master Management Server, the subordinate Management Servers, the external Management Servers (if they exist) and their DUAS V6 nodes.

• If UVC is connected to a subordinate UVMS, the list contains the master UVMS, the local UVMS and external Management Servers (other Subordinate UVMS are displayed as external UVMS of the current local UVMS).

Each UniJob Node is registered in this list by the installation procedure (a UniJob Node can only be connected to Management Server). UniJob Nodes, however, can be manually deleted. To re-declare a UniJob Node that has been deleted, re-run the installation procedure or run the registration command, refer to the UniJob Administration Guide.

Reporter, Publisher and Dollar Universe v5 Nodes must be declared manually.

After declaring a DUAS v5 node in UVMS, to be able to access the node in UVC, the UVMS administrator (admin by default) must be added to the DUAS v5 Users table. For example, logged as the company administrator, you can use the following command: $UXEXE/uxadd user user=admin prof=PROFADM code=555

The installation procedure saves each Dollar Universe V6 node in the list of the UVMS it is registered to. It is possible to manually delete the Nodes. To declare them again, re-launch the installation procedure or use the save command, refer to the Dollar Universe Installation Guide.

Dollar Universe Nodes may be declared for different Dollar Universe Companies. Only Nodes belonging to the same Company can be grouped together in the same Node View, however different Companies can be monitored from the same Univiewer console. By default, Univiewer does not retrieve the status of Dollar Universe Nodes. A Management Server node setting can change that. Refer to the section "UVMS - Optional Services".

The user will only see the Nodes they have access to (the admin user sees all Nodes). To see Node status, the user’s role must have the appropriate rights.

Columns

The nodes list displays all the nodes known to the Management Server that the Univiewer Console is connected to. It displays the following columns:

• Type

  UniJob, Dollar Universe Dollar Universe 6, Publisher, Reporter, SAP Manager (DUAS v5), EJB Manager (DUAS V5), Oracle Applications Manager (DUAS V5), z/OS Manager, Management Server, External Management Server, Master Management Server, Subordinate Management Server.
  The Management Server node is the one UVC is connected to. It can be alone, master or subordinate. The column Advanced Status provides this information.

• Company / Area

  Only displayed for Dollar Universe (V5) and Dollar Universe 6 nodes.

• Node

  Is the node name seen from client applications (Univiewer Console or another node in the environment).

• Status

  Represents the state of the connection between the Univiewer Console and the Node. This status depends on reception signal (ping), IO server presence, and node network connection. It may represent different values:

  • Connected: The reception signal is sent regularly, the Node is reachable, the IO server is reachable, and the icon is green.
  • Connected with warning: The reception signal has not been received. The IO server is reachable but at least one service is down; assume that it cannot open a connection. A warning is displayed on the green icon.
  • Failed: The reception signal has not been received, the Node is reachable, but not the IO server. The icon is red.
  • Not connected/Unknown Status: The reception signal has not been received, The Node is not reachable; the icon is gray.
  • External: The IO server is reachable but the Node is saved under another UVMS (the Node status will not be verified afterwards.)

  UniJob Node status relies on the presence of the Alert Manager Service, which is absent by default. If the Alert Manager is not started, UniJob Nodes will systematically be displayed with an “Unknown” status. This in no way impacts functionality.

  Dollar Universe Node status collection can be turned on by the “Get status for Dollar Universe Nodes” setting (refer to section: UVMS - Optional Services).
  If very large numbers of Dollar Universe Nodes are concerned, this setting should be turned off.

  If the server that is hosting a Dollar Universe node changes its IP address, UVMS will display the node status as “not connected”. To resolve the hostname with the new IP address, UVMS must be restarted.

• Advanced status

  (Only for advanced architecture) Provides additional information such as “register status”, “last synchronization time”, “local UVMS role” etc.

  If UVC is connected to "Master Management Server", the user can manage the security and alerting rules. The list displays all the subordinate nodes and UVMS they are registered to, but the user cannot modify nodes that are linked to subordinates.

  If UVC is connected to "Subordinate Management Server", the user can only display the security and alerting rules (that are only managed by the Master Management Server with this architecture). If the current Subordinate Management Server shares its nodes with the master, the list displays all the nodes associated to the master and the subordinates that share their nodes, but the user cannot modify a node that is not directly associated.

• Management Server

  Displays the UVMS the node is registered to. This information is useful for when the implementation of advanced architecture which can have 2 UVMS levels: the master and the subordinates and all the associated nodes in the same list. This column specifies which UVMS the node (Dollar Universe V6) is linked to.

• Upgrade status

  Represents state of the Dollar Universe V5 to V6 upgrade. This status only applies to Dollar Universe V5.6.0 nodes that are being upgraded to V6. (Refer to the Dollar Universe Upgrade Guide).

• Information

  Displays the additional information on the node, for example the license validity...

• Operating system

  The operating system of the target Node

• Version

  The software version

• SSL

  Whether SSL is enabled or not

• Certificate Validity Date

  The certificate’s validity date

• Hostname

  The node host name

• Label

  The node description

• Tags

  The tags mapped to the node. Refer to section Node Tags.

Information Window

• The Nodes tab in the Information window displays the UVMS Node status (see Columns).

• The Stats tab displays statistics on the Nodes in the list:

  • The number of Nodes in the list
  • The number of Nodes in each status
  • The status legend

• The Audit tab displays the last action performed on the Nodes list.

Toolbar

• New, Display, Update

  Opens a Node declaration window. Refer to section: Node Details. Some fields are not modifiable depending on the action selected. The UVMS Node cannot be modified.

• Delete

  This action deletes the node declaration in UVMS but does not delete the product instance.
  Deleting a subordinate UVMS does not delete the corresponding security but only unregisters the subordinate from the master.

• Duplicate
