KCNCI010I COUPLING FACILITY COLLECTION PARMS IN EFFECT ARE: XCF GROUP NAME=XXXXXXXX ADDRESS=XXXXXXXX REFRESH INTERV=XXXXXXXX ADDRESS=XXXXXXXX WTO MESSAGES=XXXXX ADDRESS=XXXXXXXX PLEX COLLECT=XXX ADDRESS=XXXXXXXX

This message comes from the main module supporting Coupling Facility data collection in the OMEGAMON® Subsystem (KCNCFIN). This message documents the collection parameters in effect for this address space, as follows:

• XCF Group Name – specifies the XCF group name we are using to pass Coupling Facility data from the collecting OMEGAMON Subsystem to the receiving OMEGAMON Subsystems. The name must be common to all participating OMEGAMON Subsystems in the Sysplex. The name should be unique from any other XCF group names used in this Sysplex.
• REFRESH INTERV – shows the refresh interval in effect. The value is in seconds. This interval tells you how frequently we are refreshing Coupling Facility data in this address space. All OMEGAMON Subsystems that are part of the same XCF group should have the same refresh interval.
• WTO MESSAGES – indicates the level of message logging used. There are 3 levels:
  • NO – no messages at all
  • ERROR – error, warning and informational messages that give key status indications for the service. ERROR is the default.
  • ALL – full debugging level messages. This should be used only with IBM® Software Support involvement. The message volume can be extensive.
• PLEX COLLECT – specifies whether or not this address space may become the collector for this Sysplex. There are 2 values:
  • YES indicates that this OMEGAMON Subsystem may become the Coupling Facility data collector for this Sysplex. Only one OMEGAMON Subsystem at a time is the collector. OMEGAMON Subsystems with this value may take over data collection should the current collector fail or be terminated. YES is the default.
  • NO indicates that this OMEGAMON Subsystem may not become the collector for this Sysplex. This OMEGAMON Subsystem may initiate local collection if the Sysplex collector cannot be located.
• ADDRESS – Appended to each parameter, it is the storage location of this parameter within this address space. This value may be helpful for problem resolution efforts.
