Working with the z/OS DLA

Discovery in the IBM® Discovery Library Adapter for z/OS® (the z/OS DLA) is completed by running the z/OS DLA batch job or started task on each z/OS system. The books that are produced are saved as members of a partitioned data set. The DLA also generates an FTP statement deck that is used to transfer the XML books to the Discovery Library File Store (DLFS).

Use this guide to learn about the following tasks:
  • Running the z/OS DLA
  • Customizing discovery to include or exclude resource types
  • Contents of the books that are produced
  • Using FTP to transfer the XML book files to the Discovery Library File Store
  • Loading the XML book files into the CCMDB product
  • Automating discovery of resources
