Enterprise Node

Enterprise Nodes are BRMS systems that are being monitored by an Enterprise Hub. Enterprise Node properties are defined by and maintained on the Hub. No Enterprise specific configuration is currently required on the Nodes. However, if reports will be run on the Node, remote writers will have to be configured and if the spooled files are being saved on the Node, an output queue will need to be created. It is possible for an Enterprise Node to exist on multiple Enterprise Hubs. If configured to have the Enterprise Node on Multiple Enterprise Hubs, reports will be sent to all Enterprise Hubs.

IBM plans to withdraw the heritage Navigator for i. IBM and Fortra continue to work on the strategy for the BRMS product and its interfaces. As an alternative to accessing BRMS in the heritage Navigator for i, customers can use the BRMS SQL services.

Starting with PTFs SI80271 (7.3), SI80272 (7.4) and SI80273 (7.5) Node Policy and Node Group concepts are no longer used.

Node Policy

Each Node has an associated Node Policy. The Node Policy defines properties that can be shared between multiple Nodes. Each Node can reference the Node Policy for any of its properties.

Node Group

Node Groups allow an administrator to assign a name to a group of Nodes. The Node Groups can be based on attributes the Nodes have in common, for example - owner, location, time zone, etc.
