Integrate CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP with CA Introscope › How You Integrate CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP with CA Introscope › Configure EPAgent

Configure EPAgent

You customize the EPAgent properties file. If you want to connect more than two CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP regions, you require a dummy plug-in file.

Follow these steps:

1. Customize the <EPAgent_Home>/epagent/IntroscopeEPAgent.properties file:
   1. Verify that the following line is uncommented:

      introscope.epagent.config.networkDataPort=8000
      

   2. Record this Network Data Port number.
   3. Specify Mainframe for the introscope.agent.customProcessName property:

      introscope.agent.customProcessName=Mainframe
      

   4. Specify NetMasterAgent for the introscope.agent.agentName property:

      introscope.agent.agentName=NetMasterAgent
      

   5. (Optional) If you want to connect more than two CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP regions, add stateless plug-ins.

      For example, the following lines cater for three regions:

      introscope.epagent.plugins.stateless.names=ZOS1,ZOS2,ZOS3
      introscope.epagent.stateless.ZOS1.command=<EPAgent_Home>/epagent/epaplugins/dummy_file
      introscope.epagent.stateless.ZOS1.delayInSeconds=86400
      introscope.epagent.stateless.ZOS2.command=<EPAgent_Home>/epagent/epaplugins/dummy_file
      introscope.epagent.stateless.ZOS2.delayInSeconds=86400
      introscope.epagent.stateless.ZOS3.command=<EPAgent_Home>/epagent/epaplugins/dummy_file
      introscope.epagent.stateless.ZOS3.delayInSeconds=86400
      

      dummy_file identifies the dummy plug-in file that you create in the next step. The file has the following name:

      • (Linux) name.scr
      • (Windows) name.bat
   6. Save the customized file.
2. (Optional) If you want to connect more than two CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP regions, create a dummy plug-in file.
   • (Linux) In the <EPAgent_Home>/epagent/epaplugins/ directory, create a .scr file with a single comment line:

     # This is a dummy EPA plug-in file
     

   • (Windows) In the <EPAgent_Home>/epagent/epaplugins/ directory, create a .bat file with a single comment line:

     :: This is a dummy EPA plug-in file
     

3. Start EPAgent.

CA Introscope is ready to accept data from CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP.
