6.9 Processing Network Monitor Data From VM Hosts

Both VM CA NetSpy and VM NPM network monitor data can be
processed by the CA MICS Network Analyzer Option. Both of
these products are capable of producing records in a VM
environment that are equivalent to those produced by their
z/OS counterparts.  It is your responsibility to transport
these records to the z/OS host where CA MICS DAILY update
processing will occur.

For VM CA NetSpy, you must transport the data contained in
the CMS files identified in the LOG1 and LOG2 FILEDEF
statements in your NPM/VM startup EXEC.

For VM NPM, you must transport the data contained in the CMS
files identified in the FNMLOG1 and FNMLOG2 FILEDEF
statements in your NPM/VM startup EXEC.

In addition, you must make minor changes to the INPUTSMF
member of prefix.MICS.PARMS to cause the OS file containing
your VM CA NetSpy and/or VM NPM data to be concatenated into
the SMF input stream for the DAY056 step of your CA MICS
DAILY update job. These changes are described in Section 7.6,
Product-Specific JCL Information, of this guide.  After
running a JCLGENU job to regenerate the JCL for your DAILY
update job, you will be able process the network monitor data
from your VM hosts.
