Accessing a Tivoli Monitoring Services host session

When researching the cause of an alert, you might want to go directly to the problem host so you can review conditions raised by a Tivoli Monitoring Services (TMS) product. To access a TMS host session, access the terminal emulator adapter of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.

The terminal emulator adapter turns a workspace view into a TN3270 or TN5250 session so you can connect to any 3270- or 5250-based host system (such as z/OS or i5/OS) using TCP/IP. The terminal emulator adaptor provides simple terminal emulation; with it, you can access such terminal-based applications as the IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS menu system (also known as the Classic interface). It also provides a scripting language interface that enables you to do the following tasks

See the Tivoli Enterprise Portal online help for instructions on using the terminal emulator adapter and the dynamic terminal integration support.
