OMEGAMON Data Connect installation directory

The OMEGAMON® Data Connect installation directory contains the files for OMEGAMON Data Connect that are supplied with OMEGAMON Data Provider.

If you're responsible for installing, configuring, or running OMEGAMON Data Connect, it's useful to know the location and contents of the installation directory.

Location

The original location of the installation directory is a z/OS® UNIX® directory. The z/OS SMP/E installation steps for OMEGAMON Data Provider create a z/OS UNIX directory specified by the DDDEF name TKAYHFS. That directory is the SMP/E target. Example SMP/E target directory path: /usr/lpp/omdp/bin/IBM.

The installation directory, kay-110, is a child of the SMP/E target.

You can copy the installation directory to a location of your choice, including off z/OS.
