Copying configuration files to the working directory

You must complete this task before you create any policies; otherwise, the Configuration Tool cannot work properly.

About this task

For more information about the definition of data streams, see Groups of data streams in the Configuration Tool.

Procedure

Copy the configuration files that are listed in Table 1 from the IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics installation directory to the working directory for the Z Common Data Provider Configuration Tool.

Tip:

You can copy only the configuration files that you need, but it's recommended that you copy all the configuration files together to the working directory for the Configuration Tool in case of any problems caused by missing files.
From UNIX System Services, use the following sample command to copy the *.json files, with the appropriate values for your environment:
```
cp /usr/lpp/IBM/zoa/v5r1m0/zcdp/ZLDA/*.json config_tool_workdir
```

Table 1. Configuration files definitions
Configuration files	Description	More information
cdp-starter-sets.streams.json	Defines commonly used data stream groupings that are called Starter Sets. These data streams are categorized into various data stream sets that are based on z/OS® components and subsystems.	Includes data streams under group Starter Sets in the Configuration Tool.
dcollect.streams.json	Defines the operational data types that are collected by the Data Collector in stream mode.	Includes data streams for raw data under group IBM Z Common Data Provider in the Configuration Tool. The raw data allows you to build custom searches and dashboards on the complete set of data that is provided by the Z Common Data Provider.
ims.streams.json	Defines the operational data types for IBM® Information Management System (IMS).
log-forwarder.streams.json	Defines the log-based data types.
sde.streams.json	Defines the raw SMF data types for the System Data Engine of Z Common Data Provider.
zlda.enable.json	Contains the information that is necessary for Z Common Data Provider to register with Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool (SCRT) as a running component of Z Operational Log and Data Analytics.
zlda.protocols.json	Defines the subscriber protocols that data can be sent to.	See Subscriber configuration to learn the protocol changes.
zlda.streams.json	Defines the data types that are used by the Z Operational Log and Data Analytics dashboards and saved searches.	Includes data streams for curated data under group IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics in the Configuration Tool. The curated data is used to support the dashboards and saved searches in Kibana that are provided in the IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics application.
