OSA-Express Network Traffic Analyzer (OSAENTA)

The Network Traffic Analyzer function provides a new diagnostic trace facility to allow OSA trace records to be sent to the host operating system. It allows z/OS system administrators to use and leverage the existing z/OS tool set and service aids to control, display, capture, and process these OSA trace records at the host operating system level to help monitor, debug, and diagnose network problems.

OSA authorization needs to be set in order to exploit OSAENTA on z/OS.

For details on how to set up and use OSAENTA, refer to the following publications:
