Defining connection profiles


To collect and store 

MainView

 performance data, you need to define connections between the 

MainView Threshold Advisor

 server and one or more:

  • MainView host servers on the mainframe
    The Manage MainView Host Server Profiles tool lets you manage the connections to one or more MainView host servers.

  • CDB servers
    The Manage CDB Server Profiles tool lets you manage the connections to one or more CDB servers.

To define a MainView host server profile

  1. In the application toolbar, click Administration Tools.
  2. In the Administration Tools window, click Manage MainView Host Server Profiles.
  3. Click Add to open the Add MainView Host Server Profile dialog box.
  4. Enter the values for each field, as described in following table:

    Field

    Description

    Host Server

    Host name or IP address of the MainView host server

    Port Number

    Port number that the MainView host server is using to communicate

    The default port number is 3940.

    TSO User ID

    Note

    • You can define multiple MainView host server profiles. Each profile is named by its host server name and port number (such as SYSB3940).
    • MainView Threshold Advisor attempts to collect data through all defined MainView host servers. If you do not want to collect data from a specific host server, you must explicitly remove its profile from the list of available servers.
