Set Up the Option

The CCS Agent Technology service is required for the CA NSM SSM CA OPS/MVS Option.

Note: This topic provides an overview of how to set up the Option. For detailed information, see the Installation Guide.

To set up the Option

1. Ensure that Agent Technology is installed on your system.
2. Install the agent for the Option using the INSTSMPM job in the CNTL data set.
3. Define the agent to Agent Technology:
   1. Load the SSM management information base (MIB) using the LDMIB job in the CNTL data set.

      The MIB is loaded in an Agent Technology object store.

   2. Create the configuration file for the agent, based on the CFGSSMO member in the CNTL data set. For #SNMPTRAP, specify the address and port number of the CA NSM server on which the Option is to be installed.
   3. Load the file using the LDCFG job in the CNTL data set.
4. Configure CA OPS/MVS for the agent:
   1. Ensure that the following statements are included in your OPSSPA00 program:

      var = OPSPRM("SET","CAUNICONFIGSET","agent_configuration_name")
      var = OPSPRM("SET","CAUNICONNECTWAIT","2")
      var = OPSPRM("SET","INITAWS","YES")
      

   2. Ensure that the following data sets are concatenated to STEPLIB or defined to LNKLST:
      • CCS CAILIB load library
      • USSLOAD load library
      • CEE.SCEERUN C run-time library
   3. Ensure that the following data sets are allocated to CA OPS/MVS:
      • IBM's Communications Server TCPIP.DATA data set using the SYSTCPD ddname
      • CCS ENVFILE member in the SRCLIB data set using the ENVFILE ddname
      • Agent log data sets using the OPSALOG and OPSBLOG ddnames
      • Agent STDERR data sets using the OPSAERR and OPSBERR ddnames
      • Agent STDOUT data sets using the OPSAOUT and OPSBOUT ddnames
      • Dump data set for C language environment using the CEEDUMP ddname
   4. Recycle CA OPS/MVS.
5. Update the SSM resource and directory tables for the resources you want to monitor through the Option:
   1. Specify ALWAYS in the TNGNOTIFY column of a resource table for the resources you want to monitor.
   2. Specify YES in the TNGELIGIBLE column of the directory table for each resource table updated in the previous step.
6. Install the Option on the CA NSM server, and set up the WorldView map for the z/OS system on which SSM is running.

   Note: For more information, see the product documentation for the Option.

After the Option is set up, the status of the resources to be monitored are forwarded to CA NSM and reflected on the WorldView map.
