Verify Agent Technology Installation

Once your Agent Technology z/OS services have successfully started, perform these steps.

Follow these steps:

  1. Check on the state of the AT Services. Within OMVS:
    1. Issue the following command:
      	. agentworks.profile
      

      Note: Do not enclose this command in quotes and do not forget the period and space before the actual invocation of the agentworks.profile script.

    2. Issue the following command:
      	awservices list
      

      The first two lines of the report that is produced read:

      	RUNNING    aws_orb:aws_orb
      	RUNNING    aws_sadmin:aws_sadmin
      

      Note: You can see several other services and agents, or both, listed in the report with a status of Stopped. This is normal.

  2. Check the status of the AT services ports. Within OMVS:
    1. Issue the following command:
      	onetstat
      
    2. The report that is produced lists all of the AT ports (see the Overview section earlier in this chapter) and show them in the appropriate status, as:
      	Listen - For all TCP/IP socket ports
      	UDP - For the SNMP listener port (normally 6665)
      
  3. Ensure all of the Agent/Services MIBS have been loaded into the Object Store. Within OMVS:
    1. Issue the following command:
      	. agentworks.profile
      
    2. Issue the following command:
      	agentctrl -m
      

      The report that is produced must show the awsAdmin MIB, and at least one other Agent MIB. For example:

      	<awsAdmin>      is registered
      	<caiDatacom>    is registered
      	<caiDb2mvs>     is registered
      	<caiIDMS>       is registered
      	<caiSysAgtzOS>  is registered
      	<caiSysAgtCics> is registered
      	<caiSysAgtMqs>  is registered
      	<caiSysAgtMvs>  is registered
      
  4. If you encounter problems, review the Services log files within the AT zFS (under directory $AGENTWORKS_DIR/services/var/log) to help diagnose the problem. These files are overwritten each time the AT services are started.
