Setting Up the Packet Analyzer › Duplicate Definitions on Multiple LPARs

Duplicate Definitions on Multiple LPARs

Each LPAR has only one Packet Analyzer. This means that multiple regions on the same LPAR use the same application name definitions.

If you want to duplicate definitions on multiple LPARs, you can export and import definitions to and from other LPARs using the Packet Analyzer Utilities Menu.

You can export application name definitions to a physical sequential data set (DSORG=PS) or a member of a partitioned data set (DSORG=PO), with 80-byte fixed-length records. You can then import the definitions in the data set to other LPARs. This enables you to easily implement applications at your site that are common on more than one LPAR.

Export Definitions

To export definitions

1. Ensure that a sequential data set exists to hold the exported definitions.
2. Enter /IPAUTIL at the prompt.

   The Packet Analyzer Utilities Menu appears.

3. Complete the following field:

   Data Set Name

   Identifies the data set that you want to export.

   Select the EA option.

   The definitions are exported.

Import Definitions

To import the definitions in a data set

1. Enter /IPAUTIL at the prompt.

   The Packet Analyzer Utilities Menu appears.

2. Complete the following field:

   Data Set Name

   Identifies the data set that you want to import.

   Select the IA option.

   The definitions are imported. When the process completes, a report appears summarizing the result of the process.
