VitalSigns for IP, Specifications
Reliable Agent-Server-Browser Architecture:
VIP Agents reside on z/OS, where they report on the status and configuration of their hosts—including data on TCP/IP stacks, applications, buffers, and interfaces.
Multiple VIP Agents pass data to a VIP Server, a fully portable service that typically runs on z/OS Unix System Services (USS).
The Server delivers z/OS network data to users at common desktop web browsers.
Robust, Secure Architecture
- Monitor multiple z/OS systems through a single VIP Server, or run redundant Servers
- Redundant access to VIP data in case a communication path is lost
- Ensured data integrity between host and server
- Supports host-level security via RACF (user’s option)
Environment

- VIP Servers install on z/OS Unix System Services (USS), and/or on Linux, Unix, Windows.
- Server is a pure Java system, fully portable and cross-platform compatible
