Enable RMF data collection
If you have configured OMEGAMON XE on z/OS to use RMF data collection for real-time or near-term history data collection, you need to perform the steps described in this section.
- RMF Control Task (RMF)--one instance on each monitored system.
- RMF Monitor III Gatherer (RMFGAT)--one instance on each monitored system.
- RMF Distributed Data Server (GPMSERVE)--one instance per sysplex.
For near-term history data collection, an additional requirement is that at least one instance (two for redundancy and up to one instance on each monitored system) of the OMEGAMON Subsystem must be active per sysplex.
If RMF Collection has been configured, you must ensure that the RMF Distributed Data Server (DDS) is started and RMF Monitor III tasks are started in all LPARs in this sysplex so that the DDS can consolidate data from each LPAR. OMEGAMON® XE on z/OS® and, for near-term history, the OMEGAMON subsystem (OB730 or higher) must also be enabled to connect to the DDS. This is done by enabling RACF's PassTicket service.
