Although the information in this chapter is useful to you for understanding the CA MIC for z/VM message collection process, you should see the CA MIC Message Sharing for z/OS Systems Programmer Guide for more complete information on using the COLLECT command.
Messages are not routed to external systems because they are received by the MIMGR service machine. CA MIC for z/VM routes only those messages being collected by external z/OS systems.
To initiate message collection on a z/OS system, issue the COLLECT command on that system. The COLLECT command enables a z/OS system to receive messages from an external system. Since z/VM systems are not able to receive unsolicited cross-system messages in the current release of CA MIC for z/VM, the COLLECT command is not supported in the CA MIM for z/VM product.
The COLLECT command is used to specify the destination of messages (console, product, TSO user, or SYSLOG), the source system of the messages, and the type of messages you want to collect.
The following example shows one way you can use the COLLECT command to collect messages from a z/VM system. For TSO user DSIAZ11 to receive messages from the CA VM:Tape user ID on system VMSYS1, the COLLECT command is issued as follows:
COLLECT TSOUSER=DSIAZ11 SYSID=VMSYS1 JOBNAME=VMTAPE
Note: The MIMGR service machine must be intercepting messages from the CA VM:Tape service machine in order to collect these messages.
Messages can be intercepted in any one of the following ways:
