Enabling MainView to work with Subzero

To enable MainView to work with Subzero

1. Obtain and install the required PTFs for your MainView products.A list of required PTFs is located in the BMC Subsystem Optimizer for zEnterprise release notes.
2. Provide access to the STATAPI resource in your system authorization facility (such as RACF).MainView products require this resource in order to use the Subzero application programming interface (BRDAPI). For instructions, see Securing-Subzero-components-with-SAF.

3. Modify the BBIISPxx member of the BBIPARM library to specify the following Subzero parameters:

   • Specify BRDDCOLL=YES to collect Subzero component data.

     Note

     To disable collection of Subzero data, specify BRDDCOLL=NO or omit this parameter.

   • (optional) To limit Subzero data collection to a single XCF group, specify BRDGROUP=xcfGroupName. xcfGroupName is the name of the Subzero XCF group. To collect data for all Subzero XCF groups, omit the BRDGROUP parameter.

   You must specify these parameters for at least one BBI-SS product address space (PAS) on each LPAR in which Subzero is running. Only one PAS collects data. However, if this PAS terminates and the parameters are specified for another PAS that is running on this LPAR, the second PAS will take over data collection.

4. Add the Subzero runtime library to the STEPLIB concatenation in the PAS JCL.
5. Verify that the following message is displayed, indicating that Subzero data collection is activated:BBQBE104I Starting Subzero data collection
