graphical drag and drop capability of OS/2 or AIX/6000. The primary benefit
of the end-use dimension is the end-user productivity.
Some examples of products that have implemented SystemView conforming
interfaces are:
LAN Network Manager
NetView for OS/2
NetView for AIX
DataHub Family of Database Management Products
NetView Performance Monitor
NetView Distribution Manager/2
Service Level Reporter
2. Application dimension
Application dimension is a consistent environment for developing systems
management applications. The primary benefits of the application dimension
are automation of system management, integrated functions, and open
implementation.
The application dimension consists of all system management tasks,
grouped into six management disciplines:
Business: Provides inventory management, financial administration,
business planning, security management and management services for
all enterprise-wide computer related facilities
Change: Schedules, distributes, applies, and tracks changes to the
enterprise information system
Configuration: Manages the physical and logical properties of resources
and their relationships such as connections and dependencies
Operations: Manages the use of systems and resources to support the
enterprise information processing workloads
Performance: Collects performance data, tunes the information systems
to meet service level goals and does capacity planning
Problem: Detects, analyzes, corrects and tracks incidents and problems
in system operations
IBM provides programming interfaces to achieve a cohesive systems
management architecture. An example of this is implemented in the
NetView for OS/2 product.
3. Data dimension
The data dimension provides systems management integration through the
common modeling and sharing of management data. Data sharing among
management application is a key systems management requirement.
Enterprises want to enter management data into their systems only once.
However, enterprises want the information in the information base to be
accessible in an efficient form for applications needing it.
The SystemView data dimension provides a structure in which systems
management applications and functions utilize a standardized set of data
definitions and database facilities.
The following are the primary characteristics of the data dimension:
Common object definitions: Products and applications share the data
definitions in the SystemView data model. This allows the products and
applications to utilize the data rather than replicate it.
