For those who would like to monitor the z/OS system from some "central location", IBM has integrated a CIM (API) which allows performance metrics to be queried from another system.
<quote> | z/OS CIM implements the CIM server which is based on the OpenPegasus open | source project. A CIM monitoring client invokes the CIM server which, in | turn, collects z/OS metrics from the system and returns it to the calling | client. To get the z/OS metrics, the CIM server invokes the z/OS RMF | monitoring provider which retrieves the metrics associated with z/OS | system resources. The z/OS RMF monitoring provider uses RMF Monitor III | performance data. </quote> http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/E0Z2A117/1.5. 1 -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
