Usage Notes

Any security limitations set up for your user ID when you access
the product directly are active when you access the product
implicitly. If your user ID is not authorized to use the product,
implicit access does not occur. If you are to be able to access other
Landmark PerformanceWorks MVS systems remotely, their security
systems must be the same.

You may receive error messages from a Landmark product you are
trying to access implicitly. Usually this happens when an error
occurs during the access attempt. For help with these messages,
refer to the messages and codes manual for the appropriate
product.

When you log off of a product you accessed implicitly from one of
the Landmark PerformanceWorks MVS products, you return to the
same Landmark product. For example, when you log off of a
product you accessed implicitly from TMON for MQSeries, you
return to TMON for MQSeries.

Using NaviGate

NaviGate is product-to-product communication initiated
automatically by the system when you cursor-select a field that has
a built-in connection to another product. These connections help
you diagnose problems by automatically transferring you to useful
screens in other products.

A compass symbol to the left of a field name indicates that you can
cursor-select that field to access another Landmark product.

NaviGate connections occur between products in the same
processor complex. When you invoke a NaviGate connection in a
processor complex, the other product you access also exists in the
same processor complex. If you implicitly or explicitly access a
product in a different (remote) processor complex and then invoke
a NaviGate connection, the NaviGate connection is made in the
remote processor complex.

If you try to invoke a NaviGate connection for a product that is not
active, the connection attempt fails. The screen is refreshed, but no
message is issued.

TMON for CICS/ESA

The following table shows where the NaviGate connections to
other Landmark PerformanceWorks MVS products occur in TMON
