Configure the CA SYSVIEW Data Source

As the system administrator, you want CA Chorus to provide systems data to the performance analysts. The analysts use this data to monitor and isolate performance problems.

CA SYSVIEW is the source of this data. You configure CA SYSVIEW on each LPAR to enable the following functions:

• Enable CA Chorus to request system data from CA SYSVIEW.
• Enable CA SYSVIEW to send system data to CA Chorus.

Follow these steps:

1. Access the system configuration options member GSVXGSVX that is located in the CNM4BSAM SMP/E target system parameter library data set (the IPL concatenation).

   SYSVIEW.BASE.PARMLIB(GSVXGSVX)
   system.parmlib(GSVXGSVX)
   

   The system configuration options member sets configuration options during the CA SYSVIEW initialization.

2. Change the following configuration options to yes in the member GSVXGSVX:

   Option-Chorus=yes
   

   Option-MVS=Yes
   

   Yes

   Activates the CA Chorus Infrastructure Management integration and enables CA SYSVIEW data flow to CA Chorus Infrastructure Management.

   No

   Prevents CA Chorus Infrastructure Management integration.

   Default: No

3. (Optional) Change the following configuration options to yes in the member GSVXGSVX:

   Option-CICS=yes
   

   Option-IMS=yes
   

   Option-WebSphereMQ=yes
   

   Yes

   Activates the CA Chorus Infrastructure Management integration and enables data flow for those CA SYSVIEW options to CA Chorus Infrastructure Management.

   No

   Prevents CA Chorus Infrastructure Management integration.

   Default: No

   The data flow to CA Chorus Infrastructure Management is enabled.

   CA Chorus Infrastructure Management can request and receive system data from CA SYSVIEW.

4. (Optional) Open the SYSVIEW parmlib member TSF and edit the member to change the following Time Series Facility default values. The parameters in the member TSF control the sending of data to TSF. Only change the default values when the defaults do not apply to your site.

   Note: The Chorus complex contains one TSF Server address space. The other systems in the Chorus complex run a TSF Relay address space. CA SYSVIEW communicates with a TSF address space (Relay or Server) through TCP/IP on the local system running CA SYSVIEW.

   • TSF-Hostname - localhost

     Change the TSF-Hostname parameter when localhost is not the local host name.

   • TSF-IPVersion - IPV4

     Possible values are IPV4 and IPV6. Change the TSF-IPVersion parameter when you are using IPV6.

   • TSF-Region-ID - *

     Only change the TSF Region-ID if the TSF installer changed the default value of the TSF parameter TSFSUFFIX. The TSF-Region-ID parameter must match the TSFSUFFIX specification.

     Note: For multiple suffixes with CA SYSVIEW, you need the multiple instances for CA SYSVIEW.

     When the TSF installation is complete, the SYSVIEW TSFLIST command displays the local TSF address space and the associated Region ID.

   Data flow to CA Chorus Infrastructure Management Time Series Facility is enabled.

5. (Optional) Activate the IMS DC Monitor.

   This step is only necessary to display the wait delay values for the IMS Transaction Times objects in Investigator. The other IMS objects and modules do not require the DC Monitor to be active.

   1. Open the CA SYSVIEW IMSLOGR parmlib member.
   2. Set the ACTIVATE-DC-MONITOR option to Yes.
6. Review the CA SYSVIEW installation member INST0003 in the sysview.SAMPJCL data set to ensure the z/FS release dependent file systems are mounted and permanently available.
