Enabling the self-describing agent feature at a monitoring
server
By default, the self-describing agent feature is disabled.
If you want to use the self-describing agent (SDA) feature, you must
enable it at the agent and the remote monitoring server to which the
agent reports, and at the hub monitoring server to which the remote
reports.
Before you begin
You must perform z/OS®
UNIX System Services system preparation set-up tasks to
create the z/OS UNIX file system before you can enable SDA. For more information, see RTE_USS_RTEDIR.
Procedure
If you are configuring a monitoring server as
part of this runtime environment and
you want to enable SDA support, perform a FIND on KDS_KMS_SDA in the
RTE configuration profile.

000845 ** Review other required PARMGEN profile parameters to complete
000846 ** SDA enablement.
000847 ** Related PARMGEN CONFIG profile parameters:
000848 ** - GBL_HFS_JAVA_DIRn (typically in WCONFIG($GBL$USR))

Ensure that the related parameters are set
appropriately. The related GBL_ parameters are found in the WCONFIG($GBL$USR)
profile for further customization.
