RODM monitoring

IBM Z Workload Scheduler support for RODM lets you use established resource monitoring. Through subscriptions to RODM, you can monitor the status of real resources used by IBM Z Workload Scheduler operations.

Table 1. RODM-related parameters
StatementParameters Description
OPCOPTSRODMTASKStarts the RODM subtask
RODMPARM Specifies where RODMOPTS statements are stored
EWTRTASK Starts an event writer to collect resource events
RODMOPTS Specifies subscription parameters
ROUTOPTS Specifies routes to tracker destinations

You specify RODMOPTS statements only for the Z controller. A separate RODMOPTS is required for each subscription. You specify RODMTASK(YES) for an IBM Z Workload Scheduler address space that communicates with RODM, which must be started on the same z/OS image as the RODM subsystem. An event writer must be started in the same address space.

If communication with RODM is through a tracker, you specify the tracker destination on RODMOPTS. The destination must be defined on ROUTOPTS.
