Leo > But my company's product runs on many zOS-systems, ...
I'm not at all sure I understand what you are saying here. I assumed you wanted performance information for the system or systems which you ran. What has "my company's product" got to do with it? Just assuming for the moment that you really do want advice on how to manage multiple systems, without having examined the Ernie's presentation in detail but having read a bit about OSA management in the past, you would be operating a type of "client-server" called actually "manager-agent" where you work with one "client/manager" and can access/manage many "servers/agents". The "agent" is an SNMP agent and that comes with z/OS Communications Server at no extra cost, I believe. The agent is actually a subagent of the SNMP agent, it is called "The OSA-Express direct SNMP subagent" and is documented in the "Open Systems Adapter-Express Customer's Guide and Reference" manual: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss? uid=isg2bc4ae2e43bfcf12c85256cee000d1130 Since the "agent" support is "at no extra cost" as I believe, the number of systems is irrelevant since each system will necessarily be running z/OS Communications Server. SNMP being a very "open" management technique, you can implement the "manager" any way you like. You can use a product which costs money such as NetView or you can use a product which you yourself create which costs your time and effort. I've done some of the latter sort of SNMP work - although I was using a NetView base - and it was fun! > And therefore I am investigating to get out some data without additional software, only with using "existing" APIs or callable services and so on. What I have just described is exactly that - using SNMP and sockets programming.
