Running z/OS PASs concurrently

The z/OS PAS contains the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CMF Extractor.

Any number of extractors can collect enqueue data in a single system image. However, only one extractor can write SMF records at a time in a single system image.

If you already have the following resources in place, the CXEN parameter (see z-OS-PAS-started-task-parameters) can be used to run two z/OS PASs or an Extractor and an z/OS PAS concurrently:

  • Production z/OS PAS that is running on a system where you want to test another z/OS PAS
  • Existing Extractor that is used by another product, such as DASD ADVISOR

To run a test z/OS PAS on the same system as a production z/OS PAS (or Extractor-based product), specify CXEN=N in the test z/OS PAS started task procedure before PAS initialization.

Important

You should replace your production Extractor or z/OS PAS with the test z/OS PAS as soon as you feel comfortable doing so.
