Operating Considerations<br />

The following illustration shows how the OMKEY background run on a legacy OS 2200<br />

system collects information and sends it as console messages to the OS 2200 system<br />

console. On the system console, SMART uses an AMS database to match these<br />

messages automatically, transform them into event reports, and send them to <strong>Status</strong><br />

running on a Single Point <strong>Operations</strong> workstation.<br />

2.1.5. MCP Considerations [MCP]<br />

Event<br />

Reports<br />

To use <strong>Status</strong> with MCP systems, you need the following software installed and<br />

operational at your site:<br />

<strong>Status</strong><br />

1. Single Point <strong>Operations</strong> Department or Enterprise Edition<br />

2. Single Point <strong>Operations</strong> Interface for ClearPath MCP<br />

The MCP agent running on a managed MCP host sends the following information to<br />

the Single Point <strong>Operations</strong> server:<br />

• Tape load and alert messages<br />

• <strong>Status</strong> of hardware components (tape, disk, and printer)<br />

• Definition of application programs that are known to the MCP API library<br />

3. Single Point Autoaction Message System (SP-AMS) database<br />

The MCP SP-AMS database (named MCPMon) transforms the information sent by<br />

the MCP agent so that <strong>Status</strong> and other Single Point <strong>Operations</strong> processes can use<br />

it.<br />

When <strong>Status</strong> establishes a connection with an MCP system, it requests hardware<br />

component information and application program information by sending an initialization<br />

message to the Single Point <strong>Operations</strong> Interface for ClearPath MCP (MCP agent)<br />

running on the MCP host. The MCP agent queries the host for the information and sends<br />

only the requested information back to <strong>Status</strong>.<br />

The MCP agent can return initialization information for the following hardware<br />

components: tape drives, disk drives, and printers. Also, it can return initialization<br />

information for application programs that are linked to the MCP API library.<br />
