APPLMON

The APPLMON parmlib member is used to provide an initial list of VTAM application IDs to monitor for availability by the VTAM application monitor component. The VTAM application monitor runs as a subtask in the CA SYSVIEW main address space.

The availability of the applications listed in this member is displayed when the APPLMON command is issued. The current availability status of the applications and their availability over the past 24 hours is displayed. Exception alerts can also be generated based on this collection by creating MONITOR and STATE definitions in the MVSMON and MVSSTATE parmlib members.

The APPLMON parmlib member contains two sections, a control section and a monitoring section. The control section is where you specify setup options. The control statement defines the VTAM APPL name that the APPLMON task uses to communicate with VTAM. This statement must be supplied and it must be active at the time the APPLMON task is started.

The monitoring section is where you define VTAM applications to monitor for availability. By default, no applications are monitored. At least one monitor statement must be supplied; however, there is no limit to the number of statements you can supply.
