Customizing z/OS services for OSA data collection
Before you can use the Open Systems Adapter (OSA) views, ensure that you have completed the required customization tasks.
You can enable data collection for the Open Systems Adapter (OSA) views by configuring the OSA support and setting up the SNMP TCP/IP subagent.
When you use OSA-Express Direct Support, the IOBSNMP address space is required to run with OSNMPD.
You complete the following tasks to configure the OSA data collection service:
- Configure the OSA support as instructed in the IBM z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide.
- Set up the SNMP TCP/IP subagent as instructed in the IBM S/390: OSA-Express Customer’s Guide and Reference.
