Enabling the IBM TCP IP NMI

Use the following procedure to edit the NETMONITOR statement in the TCP/IP profile data set to enable data collection from the IBM TCP/IP NMI.

To enable the IBM TCP/IP NMI

  1. Include the ON parameter on the NETMONITOR statement in the TCP/IP profile data set.
Warning

Note

After enabling the IBM TCP/IP interface this way, all interfaces (such as the SYSTCPSM and SYSTCPCN interfaces) are enabled and all options specific to an interface are set to their defaults.

For more information about the NETMONITOR statement, see the IBM z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference.

 

To collect FTP data from the SYSTCPSM interface

  1. Include one of the following parameters on the NETMONITOR statement in the TCP/IP profile data set:
  • SMFSERVICE to enable the SYSTCPSM interface
  • ON to enable all interfaces

If either the NOSMFSERVICE or the OFF parameter is specified on the NETMONITOR statement, the connection from the MainView for IP PAS to the SYSTCPSM NMI fails, and no FTP data is collected.

To collect connections data from the SYSTCPCN interface

  1. Include one of the the following parameters on the NETMONITOR statement in the TCP/IP profile data set:
  • TCPCONNSERVICE to enable the SYSTCPCN interface
  • ON to enable all interfaces.

If either the NOTCPCONNSERVICE or the OFF parameter is specified on the NETMONITOR statement, the connection from the MainView for IP PAS to the SYSTCPCN NMI fails, and the associated connections data is not collected.

To enable security

  1. Perform one of the following tasks:
  • Make the user ID that is associated with the MainView for IP PAS a superuser

  • Add a RACF resource in the SERVAUTH class as follows:

    EZB.NETMGMT.sysname.tcpprocname.SYSTCPCN
    EZB.NETMGMT.sysname.tcpprocname.SYSTCPSM

    where:

    sysname

    Name of the MVS system on which the PAS is running

    tcpprocname

    Job name associated with the TCP/IP started task procedure
