Messages shared by distributed and z/OS components

Because the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server can run on both distributed platforms and z/OS®, this component has some messages that can appear in both distributed logs and in the RKLVLOG on z/OS. These shared Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server messages can have the following prefixes:
  • KDC
  • KDS
  • KFA
  • KMS
  • KO4
  • KQM
Table 1 shows the locations of logs for Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server on distributed platforms and z/OS.

Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server on z/OS

RKLVLOG for the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server on z/OS is the single most helpful piece of service information available for the monitoring server. The RKLVLOG (R = runtime, KLV = the prefix associated with Tivoli® Monitoring Services: Engine or TMS:Engine) is the sysout data set or spool file that contains log and trace messages.

These additional zSeries log files (if available) are also useful:
  • The RKLVSNAP sysout data set or spool file contains formatted dump output.
  • The RKPDLOG sysout data set or spool file contains the information and error messages related to the handling of persistent data stores.
  • The RKPDOUT contains KPDXTRA log messages for debugging persistent data store problems.
  • The JES2 and JES3 system log contains information about JES issues.
Refer to your JCL started task procedures for the locations of these serviceability log files.
