Before you begin

The Logger requires that a BMC Execution Component for z/OS (DBC) address space is running in the LPAR. If a DBC address space is not already running in the LPAR, complete the procedure in section Creating-the-started-task-for-the-DBC-address-space before starting this task.

To define the NGL and Logger agents

  1. Determine the DBC system ID.
    You can determine the DBC system ID by viewing the definition in the DBC started task procedure.

  2. Enter the DBC system ID in BBPARM member MVINGIxx for the MainView Logger agent and the NGL agent.
    At this point the DBC should be running with the DBC SSID for this LPAR.

  1. Make any modifications by following the instructions in the comments section at the top of BBSAMP member MVIAGNT.

  2. Review the JCL in MVISAMP (MVIDBCU) and make any modifications by following the instructions in the member.
    The MVIDBCU job defines the Logger and NGL agent product definitions.

  3. Submit the MVIDBCU job.
