Press Release

ACO PAGER™ centralizes Windows® system, application, and security events on your iSeries® and performs automation and notification functions.

NORTHWEST INDIANA/CHICAGOLAND, June 1999--DDL Systems, Inc. announces support for Windows®. Now, our iSeries® Systems Management software can monitor Windows® event logs that allows automation of performance, network, system, application, security events and more. With the industry focus on client server and e-business, the Windows® operating system has quickly become another mission-critical component of your datacenter. Managing the complexities of these heterogeneous computer systems are becoming increasingly important to the success of your business.

Windows® event logs are very similar to the system operator message queue on the iSeries®. They contain important information regarding the health and status of your servers. Specifically, Windows® categorizes the events into three different log files:

Each log file contains information similar to that contained within a typical message on the iSeries (e.g. system name, user, message id, message type, date/time stamp, and message text). You create a new server message queue on the iSeries® to contain the Windows® event messages and start an ACOPAGER™ Message Monitor for this new message queue. Windows® event log messages are routed to the server message queue and the ACOPAGER™ Message Monitors perform automation activities just like any other monitored message.You can specify action sets for each Windows® server message queue to send pager, e-mail, break messages, and run commands (or action scripts) based on the specific (or generic) characteristics of each event.
