Configure the CA Insight DPM Data Source

Note: If your site already has installed and configured the CA Chorus for DB2 Database Management discipline, no additional configuration is needed.

As the application administrator, you want CA Chorus to provide DB2 performance data to the performance analysts. The analysts use this data to monitor and isolate DB2 performance problems.

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

Follow these steps:

  1. Update the Xnet configuration in the CA Database Management Solutions for DB2 for z/OS:
    1. To enable PassTicket support, insert the following line before or after the CMD entries in the your_db2tools_hlq.CDBAPARM(PXNPARM): 
      PASSNAME(DB2TOOLS)

      DB2TOOLS is the default application ID. This value must match the application ID value that was specified during the security PassTicket configuration.

    2. Update the Xnet started task procedure in your_db2tools_hlq.CDBASAMP(PXNPROC) to set the following parameters:
      • Port
      • TCP
      • XMANID

      Note: If you are using an Xmanager value of 0000 in the PTXMAN started task procedure, update the XMANID parameter to the release version. For example, specify XMANID=1600 if you are running Version 16.0 of the CA Database Management Solutions for DB2 for z/OS.

    3. Restart each Xnet by entering the following command: 
      S PXNPROC

      A message indicates that the Xnet started task has initialized successfully.

      Note: For more information about Xmanager and Xnet, see the CA Database Management Solutions for DB2 for z/OS General Facilities Reference Guide.

  2. Specify XNETAGT=YES in the CA Insight DPM data collector initialization parameters for each DB2 subsystem in your CA Chorus configuration. The data collector initialization parameters reside in your_db2tools_hlq.SOURCE(IDDCPRMS).

    Note: For more information about the XNETAGT parameter and initializing CA Insight DPM data collectors, see the CA Insight DPM System Reference Guide.
