Using Configuration Manager to exclude a TEMS from becoming the enterprise-wide proxy

Every TEMS running the highest software version will automatically start a plexview agent by default which may increase hub and CPU overhead. To reduce overhead, you can exclude a TEMS running the highest version from becoming the enterprise-wide proxy. This is an optional step.

About this task

Specifying parameter KM5_PLEXVIEW=NO prevents the plexview agent from starting automatically in the TEMS. When the plexview agent is not started, that TEMS is not eligible to be the enterprise-wide proxy. You can manually start any excluded TEMS plexview agent later, as long as that agent is at version 6.1 APAR OA66292, or later.

Procedure

  1. If you do not have EMBEDS in the RTE, enable EMBEDS. You can use the following JCL example to enable EMBEDS in the RTE. 
    //CSI      SET CSI=SMPE.DATA.SET
//*
//STEP1    EXEC PGM=KCIOMEGA,REGION=0M,DYNAMNBR=256
//STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&CSI..TKANMOD
//KCIFLOW  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&CSI..TKANCUS(KFJOMEGA)
//KCIVARS  DD  *
ACTION     CREATE
RTE_NAME   PGVK
RTE_PLIB_HILEV TDCIT.VK.R920
KFJ_USE_EMBEDS	Y
/*
  2. Run the CREATE action and specify parameter KFJ_USE_EMBEDS=Y in your KCIVARS DD statement.
  3. After the CREATE job is complete, locate the EMBEDS library under the same HLQ as your RTEDEF.
  4. Add the following statement to the end of rte_pllb: EMBEDS(KDS$PENV): KM5_PLEXVIEW=NO.
  5. Run GENERATE.
