Configuring IMS Connect Extensions

In addition to configuring collection parameters in the IMS Connect regions, you must also configure the IMS Connect monitoring feature outside of PARMGEN.

About this task

Use the IMS Connect Extensions dialog to enable the Publisher API and to specify the maximum number of client connections. For information about how to start this dialog box, see IMS Connect Extensions for z/OS User's Guide.

Procedure

  1. On the IMS Connect Extensions 1.2 - Primary menu dialog box, select Definitions (option 2).
  2. Select the IMS Connect for which monitoring is to be enabled.
    The System Definition dialog displays.
  3. To enable the Publisher API, type a / slash next to the Activate Publisher API label.

    Enabling this field allows OMEGAMON® for IMS to auto-discover the IMS Connect region and connect to the monitoring interface of IMS Connect Extensions. If the Publisher API is not enabled, OMEGAMON for IMS cannot find or monitor the IMS Connect. OMEGAMON OMEGAMON for IMS uses two client connections.

  4. Set the Maximum Clients to a number that enables all required client connections, plus two for OMEGAMON for IMS
  5. Repeat this procedure for each IMS Connect region in which monitoring is required.
