CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS File Transfer Monitor Definitions

CA NetMaster FTM uses the information in the CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS file transfer monitor resource definitions to monitor the operational states that affect the performance of the file transfer service.

Transfer Request Monitor Templates

Templates are provided for defining the following CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS transfer request monitors in the knowledge base:

Active transfer monitor
Held transfer monitor
Inactive transfer monitor
Suspended transfer monitor

The templates contain the following information to help you monitor a transfer request:

A timer that solicits information about the request at regular intervals.
A threshold for the number of CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS requests in the monitored status—if the threshold is exceeded (indicating that too many requests are in the monitored status), the state of the monitor resource changes to DEGRADED and the extended display shows the reason.
CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS monitor resource events that change the actual state of the monitor resource to indicate a problem—you may want to include a CA NetMaster FTM process that takes certain actions when an undesired condition occurs (for example, to record the problem in your problem management application).

Stalled Transfer Monitor Templates

A template is provided for defining the CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS transfer monitors in the knowledge base. The template contains the following information to help you monitor executing processes:

A timer that solicits information about the transfers at regular intervals.
A stalled time limit that indicates that a transfer might be stalled—if no data is transferred by the time limit, the state of the monitor resource changes to DEGRADED.
A stalled time limit that indicates that a transfer can be terminated.
CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS monitor resource events that change the actual state of the monitor resource to indicate a problem—you might want to include a CA NetMaster FTM process that takes certain actions when an undesired condition occurs (for example, to record the problem in your problem management application and raise an SNMP trap).

TCP/IP Listener Task Monitor Template

A template is provided for defining the CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS TCP/IP listener task monitor in the knowledge base. The template contains the following information to help you monitor the listener task:

A timer that solicits information about the listener task at regular intervals. If the task is not found, the state of the monitor resource changes to DEGRADED.
CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS monitor resource events that change the actual state of the monitor resource to indicate a problem—you may want to include a CA NetMaster FTM process that takes certain actions when an undesired condition occurs (for example, to record the problem in your problem management application and raise an SNMP trap).

TCP/IP Connections Monitor Template

A template is provided for defining the CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS TCP/IP connections monitor in the knowledge base. The template contains the following information to help you monitor the connections:

A timer that solicits information about the connections at regular intervals.
An idle time limit that indicates that a connection might be hung—if the limit is exceeded, the state of the monitor resource changes to DEGRADED.
An idle time limit that indicates that a connection can be dropped (terminated).
CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS monitor resource events that change the actual state of the monitor resource to indicate a problem—you might want to include a CA NetMaster FTM process that takes certain actions when an undesired condition occurs (for example, to record the problem in your problem management application and raise an SNMP trap).

Remote Node Monitor Template

A template is provided for defining the CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS remote node monitors in the knowledge base. The template contains the following information to help you monitor a file transfer partner:

A timer that solicits information about the partner at regular intervals. If the partner is not available, the state of the monitor resource changes to DEGRADED.
CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS monitor resource events that change the actual state of the monitor resource to indicate a problem—you might want to include a CA NetMaster FTM process that takes certain actions when an undesired condition occurs (for example, to record the problem in your problem management application and raise an SNMP trap).
