Displaying Data Retrieval Agents (DRA) for a hub

You can use the Data Retrieval Agents (DRA) workspace to see the data retrieval agents for a specific hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.

About this task

Data Retrieval Agents (DRA) are enhanced 3270 user interface components that manage the SQL queries sent from the user interface address space to a hub monitoring server. The DRA components do not gather performance data from Managed Systems: They manage the interactions between the user interface and the hub monitoring server address spaces. DRA components run within the hub monitoring server, Remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Servers, and Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agents. DRA components are only on z/OS systems.
