Description
Tivoli Management Services on z/OS version 6.3 introduced granular control of self-describing agent data. Granular control blocks installation of all self-describing agent application data until the Tivoli administrative commands (tacmd) Command Line Interface (CLI) is used to either specify the agents and versions to be installed, or to enable installation of all products and versions. On a new V6.3 z/OS hub monitoring server, the granular control feature is disabled by default, so if SDA is enabled, all SDA data is installed. To enable granular control, you must use the tacmd CLI. If you are upgrading from Tivoli Management Services V6.2.3 to V6.3.0, and SDA was already enabled on the hub monitoring server, the KDS_KMS_SDA_NO_GRANULAR parameter can be set to Y to retain the current behavior (all products and versions updated) or to N to enable granular control. Then you must use the tacmd CLI to specify what data to install.
