because access of them is direct. Event definition content and syntax are described in the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Rule Builder’s Guide.

$ADAPTER_HOST

The protocol address of the host where the adapter is running.

$ALERT_OPTION

If and when an SNA alert is created and sent for the message. If a message is received, the value is one of the following:

*DEFER

An alert is sent after local problem analysis.

*IMMED

An alert is sent immediately when the message is sent to the QHST message queue.

*NO No alert is sent.

*UNATTEND

An alert is sent immediately when the system is running in unattended mode (when the value of the alert status network attribute, ALRSTS, is *UNATTEND).

$DATE The date and time the event was generated.

$DATA_CCSID_CONVERT_STATUS

The following are possible values returned:

0No conversion was needed because the CCSID of the replacement data or impromptu message text matched the CCSID you wanted the data or text converted to.

1No conversion occurred because either the data was 65535 or the CCSID you wanted the data converted to was 65535.

2No conversion occurred because you did not supply enough space for the data.

3The data was converted to the CCSID specified using the best fit conversion tables.

4A conversion error occurred using the best fit conversion tables, so a default conversion was attempted. This completed without error.

–1An error occurred on both the best fit and default conversions. The data was not converted.

$DATA_CCSID_RETURNED

The CCSID of the replacement data or impromptu message text is returned. If an impromptu message is received, this is the CCSID of the impromptu message text. When replacement data is received, this is the CCSID of the replacement data fields defined as convertible character (*CCHAR) in the message description. All other replacement data is not converted before it is returned. If a conversion error occurs or the CCSID you requested the data to be converted to is 65535, the CCSID of the data or text is returned. If replacement data is being returned and there is no *CCHAR replacement data, 65535 is returned. Otherwise, the CCSID you wanted the data converted to is returned.

$HOSTNAME

The name of the system on which the event occurred.

Enterprise Console specifications

IBM Enterprise Console is a robust solution designed to centralize and streamline IT operational monitoring and management. As organizations increasingly rely on complex IT infrastructures, including cloud services, on-premise systems, and hybrid environments, the need for an effective monitoring tool has become paramount. IBM Enterprise Console addresses these needs by providing a comprehensive view of IT operations, enabling organizations to respond to incidents with agility and precision.

One of the key features of IBM Enterprise Console is real-time monitoring. The solution offers a single pane of glass through which IT teams can observe the performance of various systems and applications. This capability allows organizations to detect and respond to incidents promptly, minimizing downtime and ensuring that services remain available for end users. The console integrates seamlessly with multiple data sources, allowing for the aggregation of alerts, events, and logs from diverse IT environments.

Another significant aspect of IBM Enterprise Console is its automation capabilities. The platform supports automated workflows and incident management processes, helping to reduce the workload on IT teams. Automation not only enhances efficiency but also ensures consistency in incident response. By leveraging predefined rules and actions, organizations can standardize their operational protocols, leading to faster resolution times and improved service quality.

The IBM Enterprise Console utilizes advanced analytics and artificial intelligence to enhance operational insights. Machine learning algorithms can help identify patterns and anomalies in system performance, allowing organizations to anticipate potential issues before they escalate into critical incidents. This proactive approach to IT monitoring not only improves reliability but also fosters a culture of continuous improvement across the organization.

Security features are also integrated into the IBM Enterprise Console, allowing for the monitoring of security incidents alongside IT operations. This unified approach helps organizations to respond more effectively to security threats, enabling them to correlate operational and security data for a comprehensive view of their infrastructure.

In conclusion, IBM Enterprise Console stands out as a powerful tool for IT operations management. Its real-time monitoring, automation capabilities, advanced analytics, and integrated security features make it an ideal solution for organizations looking to enhance operational efficiency and responsiveness. By leveraging this technology, businesses can ensure that their IT environments remain stable, secure, and aligned with their strategic goals.
