Review Configuration Prerequisites

Before you start, determine the systems for which you want to monitor data.

Review the following configuration requirements:

• On each of the systems from which you want to access data, you have configured the appropriate data collecting software:
  • CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP region
  • CA SYSVIEW
  • CA Insight DPM
• (CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP) If you have multiple regions, you have linked the regions. We recommend that you have CA Chorus and a focal point region on the same system. A focal point region sees the data in all linked regions. CA Chorus sends requests to one focal point region to retrieve data from the different systems.

  Important! CA Chorus can send requests to only one CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP region.

• (CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP) The focal point region must not specify SEC=NO in TESTEXEC(RUNSYSIN). Use, for example, SEC=NMSAF.
• (CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP) You have configured the WEBCENTER parameter group in the focal point region for the web interface port.
• (CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP) You are a defined administrator in the regions.
