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 />
