Using the Unicenter TNG Option

Sending a message to the Unicenter TNG Console and/or the WorldView repository

1. Highlight the Unicenter TNG leaf object to display the current Unicenter TNG Settings on the right side of the window. The following screen is displayed.

   

2. Right-click the Unicenter TNG leaf object to bring up the context menu and select Unicenter TNG Settings. The following screen is displayed.

   

3. Enter the Event Management Machine and TNG WorldView Machine names. The Event Management machine identifies the computer running the Unicenter Event Management console. The TNG WorldView machine identifies the computer containing the WorldView repository. If the WorldView machine is the same as the computer that you are running Alert on, enter the username and password for access to the Unicenter TNG repository.

   Click on OK.

   Note: The Alert application must be running on both the Event Management machine as well as the WorldView machine if specified in the Unicenter TNG settings dialog.

Creating or Editing a TNG Mapping

1. To create or edit a TNG mapping, click on the Advanced button in the Unicenter TNG Settings dialog, so that it expands to display the following screen:

   

2. Configure Advanced Application/Class Map settings at this point.

   Application refers to the application (in this case eTrust Antivirus) sending the alert. Class refers to the type of object (in this case eTrust Antivirus) in Unicenter TNG and is case-sensitive.

   This Advanced information is useful for those administrators familiar with the TNG repository and the definition of class types.

   Use these options to create a New mapping, Edit an existing mapping, or Delete a mapping.

3. Click OK to set these changes.

Configuring a TNG Recipient

1. From the Alert Manager screen, with the Unicenter TNG category expanded, select a TNG Setting, and click on the Edit Item toolbar button (or use the right-click menu) to edit/configure the Unicenter TNG recipient. The following screen is displayed.

   

2. Define the settings using the Event Management Console Attributes section of the dialog.

   Within TNG you can define the attributes for the console messages received from your machine.

3. Select the attributes, colors, etc., you want and check Send to console.
4. To tell Alert to search for the Application object in the TNG repository, select the option for Update object status in WorldView repository.
5. Click OK to complete these steps.
