Introduction

Overview

Halcyon HA-MX Monitor monitors the status of MIMIX processes, raising alerts in response to any problems as they occur and reporting when problems have been resolved. Multiple actions can be performed in any pre-defined sequence when a particular alert is raised and escalating actions can be defined for persistent or recurring problems.

The monitor is capable of performing up to 999 different actions per alert; so you can perform one action when a problem occurs and other actions if the problem persists.

Alerts can be passed to a Halcyon Message Console on the local system, or a Halcyon Message Console or an Enterprise Console on another system.

NOTE: The Enterprise Console runs on a PC (Windows OS) and displays messages and alerts graphically. Messages can be received from an unlimited number of iSeries machines and displayed on a single screen. iSeries messages requiring a reply can be answered directly from the Enterprise Console. Halcyon Message Communicator is required to send alerts to the Enterprise Console.

The situation is monitored in real-time on the MIMIX Status display which is designed to be left active in a visible location. Colored background text indicates the current status of each monitored MIMIX process. The display also lists outstanding problems and is updated automatically whenever the monitor rechecks the situation. (An alert; Functioning Normally; is raised as soon as there are no outstanding problems.)

Compatibility

Halcyon HA-MX Monitor is compatible with OS/400 version v7.1 upwards. Please check compatibility of later versions of OS/400 in the General Knowledge section of the Halcyon Knowledge Base.

External Messaging

Messages can be sent out to mobile phones, pagers and email using Halcyon Message Communicator (the product must be purchased separately to run this facility).
