Extra note for AS/400 monitoring

Changes to management central configuration (i.e. when we ask it to automatically restart failed monitors) only take affect once the management central services are restarted:

This can be done with:

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand My connections > System A > Network > Servers > TCP/IP.
2. Right-click Management Central and select Stop. Wait until the Management Central server has stopped. Press F5 to refresh the screen and view the status in the right pane. The status should display Stopped when the server has stopped.
3. Right-click Management Central and select Start. This will restart the Management Central servers on the Central System.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 on the target systems: System B, System C, and System D.
