Subtask commands to the Event Collection Manager

You can issue specific subtask commands to the Event Collection Manager subtask (EVENTMGR). The subtask commands must be preceded by the MODIFY command of the OMEGAMON® Collector.

Specific subtask commands are:

START DB2=value

Starts the object and volume analysis collectors for one or more Db2 subsystems. The Db2 subsystems are specified by subsystem IDs.

Requirement: If you specify more than one Db2 ID, you must enclose the string in parentheses.

You can use this parameter with the MODIFY command for the Event Collection Manager. The Event Collection Manager must already be started.

F cccccccc,START EVENTMGR
F cccccccc,F EVENTMGR,START DB2=(db2ssid1,db2ssid2,...db2ssidn)
where:
  • cccccccc is the started task name that you specify for the OMEGAMON Collector during the configuration within the Configuration Tool
  • db2ssid1,db2ssid2,...db2ssidn are the identifiers of the Db2 subsystems for which object and volume analysis collectors should be started

STOP DB2=value

Stops the object and volume analysis collectors for one or more Db2 subsystems. The Db2 subsystems are specified by subsystem IDs.

Requirement: If you specify more than one Db2 ID, you must enclose the string in parentheses.

F cccccccc,F EVENTMGR,STOP DB2=(db2ssid1,db2ssid2,...db2ssidn)
where:
  • cccccccc is the started task name that you specify for the OMEGAMON Collector during the configuration within the Configuration Tool
  • db2ssid is the identifier of the Db2 subsystem for which object and volume analysis collectors should be stopped

START INTERVAL=value

Specifies the time interval for the start of the object and volume analysis collectors in minutes.

Restrictions:

  • You can specify only one value for the interval.
  • The value must be a number from 1 to 1440.

You can use this parameter with the MODIFY command for the Event Collection Manager.

F cccccccc,F EVENTMGR,START DB2=db2ssid,INTERVAL=value
where:
  • cccccccc is the started task name that you specify for the OMEGAMON Collector during the configuration within the Configuration Tool
  • db2ssid is the identifier of the Db2 subsystem for which object and volume analysis collectors are started
  • value is the value for the interval

START PARM=(COLD=value)

Specifies if the Event Collection Manager configuration should be restarted. This option should only be used if a Db2 subsystem has been dynamically added to the z/OS LPAR since the Event Collection Manager was started, or under guidance from Level 2 support.

You can specify YES or NO. The default value is NO.

You can use this parameter with the START command for the Event Collection Manager.

F cccccccc,START EVENTMGR,PARM=(COLD=YES)
where:
  • cccccccc is the started task name that you specify for the OMEGAMON Collector during the configuration within the Configuration Tool

START THREAD=value

Specifies if the object and volume analysis collectors should collect thread information.

You can specify YES or NO. The default value is YES.

You can use this parameter with the MODIFY command for the Event Collection Manager.

F cccccccc,F EVENTMGR,START DB2=db2ssid,THREAD=YES
where:
  • cccccccc is the started task name that you specify for the OMEGAMON Collector during the configuration within the Configuration Tool
  • db2ssid is the identifier of the Db2 subsystem for which object and volume analysis collectors are started
