SM2 operation

Overview

4.2 Overview of SM2 operation

After the program load message, SM2 prompts you to enter statements.

Each caller (privileged or nonprivileged user, see section “Users” on page 12) is initially taken to the analysis subinterval of SM2. Here the user can do the following:

select monitored data for output on-screen

control screen output

output information on the monitoring process

In addition, the privileged user (SM2 call with the system privilege SW-MONITOR- ADMINISTRATION) also has the option of using the CALL-ADMINISTRATION-PART statement to change to the administration facility. Here the SM2 administrator can perform the following administration tasks:

define monitoring parameters

activate/deactivate optional monitoring runs

set up the SM2 output file

assign privileges for nonprivileged users

output information on the monitoring process

specify a host for SM2 statements and reports (only applies for privileged users themselves)

In order to be able to issue the statements used to control real-time monitoring, the privi- leged user must switch into the analysis subinterval (using the CALL-EVALUATION-PART statement). In doing so, the privileged user defines his/her status as an SM2 administrator.
