If you have the prerequisite software, then OMEGAMON® Data Provider is already installed in your z/OS® SMP/E target libraries. You need to know the location of those libraries.
Also, before configuring OMEGAMON Data Provider, you might need to
install some components in other locations.
Before you begin
You need to understand the OMEGAMON Data Provider
architecture.
Ensure that you have the prerequisite software.
You need to know the SMP/E target locations where OMEGAMON Data Provider is installed. In particular:
- The high-level qualifiers of the TKANMODP and TKANSAM
MVS libraries.
- The z/OS
UNIX directory path specified by the SMP/E
DDDEF
TKAYHFS. The default path is /usr/lpp/omdp.
If you do not know these locations, then contact the person who installed the prerequisite
product offering that contains OMEGAMON Data Provider.
About this task
The following procedure ensures that each component is installed in the correct location.
Procedure
-
If you are using OMEGAMON monitoring agents as a
data source: ensure that your OMEGAMON runtime
environment (RTE) load modules are at the prerequisite software levels for OMEGAMON Data Provider.
If you have not already done so, follow your site-specific procedures to refresh the runtime
members in the RKANMOD* libraries of your RTE from the
TKANMOD* SMP/E target libraries. For example, perform the
GENERATE action of Monitoring Configuration Manager.
This step ensures that the collection tasks in your RTE support OMEGAMON Data Provider.
- Decide whether you want to run OMEGAMON Data Connect on or off z/OS.
The SMP/E installation steps for product offerings that contain OMEGAMON Data Provider create a z/OS
UNIX directory that is specified by the
DDDEF name TKAYHFS. The directory contains OMEGAMON Data Connect. The default directory path is /usr/lpp/omdp.
That z/OS
UNIX directory contains one subdirectory and three files:
- kay-110
- The OMEGAMON Data Connect installation directory. This
directory contains the expanded files for running OMEGAMON Data Connect.
- KAY11PAX
- A pax interchange format archive file containing the OMEGAMON Data Connect installation directory.
- KAY11SH
- A z/OS
UNIX shell script that extracts the pax file
KAY11PAX into the subdirectory kay-110. This script will already have been
run by an SMP/E APPLY command when the product offering that contains OMEGAMON Data Provider was installed.
- KAY11ZIP
- A compressed binary file with the same contents as the KAY11PAX file, but
using a different compressed file format.
If you want to run OMEGAMON Data Connect on z/OS, but you would prefer to run it from a location that is not an SMP/E target,
then copy the installation directory, kay-110, to the z/OS
UNIX path of your choice.
If you want to run OMEGAMON Data Connect off z/OS:
- Transfer the compressed binary file KAY11ZIP from z/OS
UNIX to another platform, such as Linux®.
Consider renaming the transferred copy with a .zip
file extension.
- Create the OMEGAMON Data Connect installation directory
kay-110 on that platform by
expanding the compressed file.
Results
The software components involved in OMEGAMON Data Provider are
now installed in the locations you will run them. Before you run them, you must configure them.
