KN3FCCMD command reference

Introduction to the KN3FCCMD commands

The z/OS® MODIFY KN3FCCMD commands enable or disable data collection by component, providing more granular control over which types of data are collected.

The IBM OMEGAMON for Networks on z/OS monitoring agent is made up of components that map to data types. By default, most of the components are enabled. The default collection interval is 5 minutes.

You can enable or disable data collection by component, providing more granular control over which types of data are collected. These actions can be specified at the time you configure the IBM OMEGAMON for Networks on z/OS monitoring agent (the preferred method) or through the z/OS MODIFY command. The z/OS MODIFY command is issued when the IBM OMEGAMON for Networks on z/OS monitoring agent is running. Then you can use the z/OS MODIFY command to initialize, start, stop, and display the status of components.

This section is a reference for the KN3FCCMD z/OS MODIFY commands that are supported by the IBM OMEGAMON for Networks on z/OS monitoring agent. It shows how to use the MODIFY commands with the following components:

CONN for TCP/IP connections and applications data. You can enable or disable collection of TCP/IP connections and applications statistics by starting or stopping the CONN component. The default is to start this component.
CSM for Communications Storage Manager data. You can enable or disable the Communications Storage Manager buffer reporting by starting or stopping the CSM component. The default is to start this component.
EEHPR for Enterprise Extender and High Performance Routing data. You can enable or disable collection of Enterprise Extender and High Performance Routing statistics by starting or stopping the EEHPR component. The default is to start this component.
FTP for FTP session and transfer data. You can enable or disable collection of FTP session and transfer data by starting or stopping the FTP component. Additionally, you can modify the display interval for FTP data. The default is to start this component.
GLBS for TCP/IP stack layer statistics. You can enable or disable collection of TCP/IP stack layer statistics by starting or stopping the GLBS component. The default is to start this component.
INTS for interfaces. You can enable or disable collection of interface statistics by starting or stopping the INTS component. The default is to start this component.
INTE for interface Data Link Control (DLC) queues. You can enable or disable collection of interface DLC queue statistics by starting or stopping the INTE component. The default is to start this component.
IPSec for IP security and filters. You can enable or disable collection of IP security and filters data by starting or stopping the IPSEC component. The default is not to start this component.
OSA for OSA statistics. You can enable or disable collection of OSA data by starting or stopping the OSA component. The default is to start this component.
ROUTE for gateways. You can enable or disable the collection of routing information (for example, the gateway table) by starting or stopping the ROUTE component. The default is to start this component. Additionally, you can collect data less frequently for this table by changing the routing table frequency.
TN3270 for TN3270 server session data. You can enable or disable collection of TN3270 server session data by starting or stopping the TN3270 component. Additionally, you can modify the display interval for TN3270 server session data. The default is to start this component.
ZERT for z/OS Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT) security sessions. You can enable or disable collection of zERT security session data by starting or stopping the ZERT component. The default is to stop this component.

On a more global level, you can start or stop collection of TCP/IP data by starting and stopping the TCPC task. Starting TCPC will initiate data collection for ALL enabled components. Stopping the TCPC task will disable ALL data.

Syntax for KN3FCCMD commands

The general syntax for KN3FCCMD commands issued as a z/OS MODIFY command is:

Where:

proc_name: Is the name of the started procedure for your monitoring agent.
command: Is the action to be taken. STATUS, HELP, INSTALL, START and STOP are supported commands.
component: Is the component in the monitoring agent to take action on.
options: Are one or more arguments that provide further information about the action to be taken against the component.

Viewing command responses

Command responses are written to the RKLVLOG but are buffered in memory and might not be written immediately. To immediately view the command responses, enter the following command, where proc_name is the name of the IBM OMEGAMON for Networks on z/OS started procedure. This command causes the buffered output to be written to RKLVLOG:

F proc_name,FLUSH
