<p>Sharing allows you to use (or share) the same items: monitors, monitor

events, system groups, definitions, and system administration tasks. You can
|
||
|
|
even set your user preferences to share all of the new tasks that you create.
|
||
|
|
For example you might give a user special authority (administered under Host
|
||
|
|
Applications in Application Administration) to view all tasks, definitions,
|
||
|
|
job monitors, message monitors, file monitors, activity monitors, system monitors,
|

|
|
system events, and system groups under Management Central in the iSeries™ Navigator
|
||
|
|
window.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Only the owner of an item can change the level of sharing. The owner can
|
||
|
|
specify any of the following levels of sharing:</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Uses for sharing objects and tasks</h4><p>What you can
|
||
|
|
do with sharing depends on the needs of your work environment. Consider these
|
||
|
|
examples:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li><strong>You can share job monitors, message monitors, system monitors, and
|
||
|
|
file monitors. </strong> <p>When you share monitors, others can use the monitors
|
||
|
|
that you set up to measure the monitored activity on the systems in your network.
|
||
|
|
If you choose <span class="uicontrol">Read-Only</span> sharing, others can open the
|
||
|
|
monitor and its event log, and they can view the properties of the monitor.
|
||
|
|
If you choose <span class="uicontrol">Controlled</span> sharing, others can also
|
||
|
|
start or stop the monitor. The level of sharing that you specify when you
|
||
|
|
create a monitor also applies to any events that are logged when a threshold
|
||
|
|
is triggered or reset. You can change the level of sharing for events after
|
||
|
|
they have been logged. </p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>You can share system groups.</strong> <p>When you share system groups, other
|
||
|
|
users can view the system groups and use them to perform authorized actions.
|
||
|
|
Unless you specify <span class="uicontrol">Full</span> sharing, you control the endpoint
|
||
|
|
systems in the system group for all authorized users. This ensures that the
|
||
|
|
system group is always up to date. Suppose you created a system group called
|
||
|
|
"West Coast Systems." If you chose to share that group, all system operators
|
||
|
|
can use that system group to work with the West Coast systems. If you specify <span class="uicontrol">Full</span> sharing,
|
||
|
|
other users may update the contents of that group.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>You can share definitions.</strong> <p>Part of your job might include maintaining
|
||
|
|
a "run book" of commonly used commands. You can share the command definitions
|
||
|
|
in that run book to ensure that the commands your system operators run are
|
||
|
|
accurate. If you need to make a change to one of those commands, you only
|
||
|
|
need to do it once. Your users can share that one set of accurate commands.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You
|
||
|
|
can also share package definitions, product definitions, and user definitions.
|
||
|
|
By sharing definitions, you save other users the time it takes to
|
||
|
|
create their own definitions.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>You can share tasks.</strong> <p>Tasks are long-running actions in iSeries Navigator.
|
||
|
|
You can share any actions that have been created and allow users to see the
|
||
|
|
status of tasks. For example, suppose you needed to install 50 fixes on a
|
||
|
|
system group containing 50 systems. If you shared that task, you can start
|
||
|
|
the task and then go home while letting the second shift operators see the
|
||
|
|
status on their PC.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>You can use global sharing to share all tasks.</strong> <p>Use global sharing
|
||
|
|
to specify the level of sharing for all your system administration tasks --
|
||
|
|
None, Read-Only, or Controlled sharing. You access global sharing through
|
||
|
|
the User Preferences window by right-clicking on Management Central. When
|
||
|
|
you specify a value other than None, the sharing value applies to all future
|
||
|
|
tasks that are created with iSeries Navigator on this PC. Existing tasks are
|
||
|
|
not affected. For example, suppose you are in an environment where you are
|
||
|
|
part of a five-person team that works around the clock. If you chose to globally
|
||
|
|
share your tasks at the Controlled level, your team can see what you did and
|
||
|
|
work with the tasks you started -- even when you are not there.</p>
