Transmission Consistency / History
It is important that systems / partitions transmit the PM for Power Systems data to IBM on a
consistent basis. The collection agent and IBM Service Agent are designed to automatically
continuously collect and periodically transmit the data to IBM; however, the possibility exists that
transmissions may not occur for a variety of reasons.
To help make it easy for the user to monitor whether transmissions are getting through to IBM on
a consistent basis, an icon on the Server Information Panel portrays a 90-day calendar of
successful or unsuccessful transmission. Simply click on the calendar icon. The calendar is well
documented with the significance of the colors.
Select the calendar icon to view transmission status:
Click on the calendar icon for a server to view that server's transmission history.
