Configuring after installation
After you have installed PATROL for iSeries, choose one of the following configuration tasks depending on your monitoring console. In each monitoring console, you can configure the KM to perform remote monitoring of your iSeries hosts.
Configuring in the TrueSight or Central Monitoring Administration console
This section provides information about the monitoring profiles and the associated monitor type available in PATROL for iSeries. It also provides instructions on configuring the monitor type by using the TrueSight console.

Configuring in the PATROL consoles
This section provides instructions for configuring PATROL for iSeries components. The PATROL for iSeries KM needs no special configuration before it begins collecting data after you load it. However, there are a few configuration options that you might want to set up, depending on the needs of your environment.

Comments
None of the steps describes the procedure to enable remote monitroing from CMA. at end we are looking for a document to configure remote monitoring on Active Jobs, History log search criteria etc. Pleasse update the document with required information.
Thank you for your comment, Suresh.
Please check this link: Configuring iSeries remote host
Thanks Shweta. I ahve gone through all the documents. I enabled monitoring on iSeries remotely using a CMA policy and I'm able to see iSeries servers in PCO server. However my requirement is to setup monitoring like how it worked in earlier version.
To describe more, earlier we have patrol agent for iseries 3.6.8 and it monitored through PCM/PCO. In this version monitroing enabled like below.
In similar way many confgurations done for Active Jobs, QHST etc on old KM. I would like to see the similar configurations in new iSeries 4.2.2 version. Is there any way to import/export configurations from ols KM to new KM? or else do we have any procedure to create a CMS policy to define configurations as same as old?
Note that we are using CMA not Truesight.
Thank you, Suresh. I will take this up with the product team, and let you know as soon as I can.
No we can not import from old km and export it to new one as both km works very differently. from 4.x version onward we are monitoring iSeries machine remotely.
We do monitor X number of active jobs by 4.x version as well.
please see configuration attached,in which all jobs with QBATCH name will be monitored and if you select option marked in red then instances of those jobs also created. each instance have their cpu, i/o, status etc..
you can configure multiple groups for different different jobs.
