Enabling the IBM TCP IP NMI

Use the following procedure to edit the NETMONITOR statement in the TCP/IP profile data set to enable data collection from the IBM TCP/IP NMI.

Note

For more information about the NETMONITOR statement, see the IBM z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference.

To collect SMF records from the SYSTCPSM interface

Include one of the following parameters on the NETMONITOR statement in the TCP/IP profile data set:

SMFSERVICE to enable the SYSTCPSM interface
ON to enable all interfaces

If either the NOSMFSERVICE or the OFF parameter is specified on the NETMONITOR statement, the connection from the MainView for IP PAS to the SYSTCPSM NMI fails, and no SMF data is collected.

To collect connections data from the SYSTCPCN interface

Include one of the the following parameters on the NETMONITOR statement in the TCP/IP profile data set:

TCPCONNSERVICE to enable the SYSTCPCN interface
ON to enable all interfaces.

If either the NOTCPCONNSERVICE or the OFF parameter is specified on the NETMONITOR statement, the connection from the MainView for IP PAS to the SYSTCPCN NMI fails, and the associated connections data is not collected.

To enable OSA tracing for the SYSTCPOT Interface

Include one of the following parameters on the NETMONITOR statement in the TCP/IP profile data set:

NTATRCSERVICE
ON to enable all interfaces

If either the NONTATRCSERVICE or the OFF parameter is specified on the NETMONITOR statement, the connection from the MainView for IP PAS to the SYSTCPOT NMI fails, and OSA tracing records will not be collected.

To enable security

Perform one of the following tasks:

Make the user ID that is associated with the MainView for IP PAS a superuser
Add a RACF resource in the SERVAUTH class as follows:
EZB.NETMGMT.sysname.tcpprocname.SYSTCPCN
EZB.NETMGMT.sysname.tcpprocname.SYSTCPSM
EZB.NETMGMT.sysname.tcpprocname.SYSTCPOT
where:
sysname
Name of the MVS system on which the PAS is running
tcpprocname
Job name associated with the TCP/IP started task procedure
