SNA Collector Status Attributes

Use the SNA Collector Status attributes to view configuration and status information about the OMEGAMON XE for Mainframe Networks SNA collector.

Agent VTAM Application Name The name of the agent VTAM application that acts as a secondary program operator. The default value is CTDN3SP, which is the application name in the CTDN3N member of the RKANSAMU data set. The format is an 8-character string.

This VTAM application must be defined to VTAM and have a status of ACTIVE before the VTAM environment and buffer pool data can be collected successfully. If the SNA Collection Started attribute in the Agent Status Attribute table has a value of No, indicating that the SNA collector is not started, this field will be blank.

ALL HPR Collection Indicates whether or not statistics are being collected for all high performance routing (HPR) connections. This value is stored as an integer and displayed as a string. The following are valid values:

If the value for this attribute is No, then data is only collected for only those HPR connections that flow data over Enterprise Extender (EE) connections.

This parameter is defined by the All High Performance Routing Connections value that was set in the Configuration Tool on the "Specify Component Configuration (Page 3)" panel. The Configuration Tool value can be modified while the monitoring agent is running using the ALLHPR parameter on the KN3FCCMD START EEHPR command. See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Mainframe Networks: Planning and Configuration Guide for more information.

This attribute will have a value of No when the TCP collector is not started, regardless of what value was specified using the Configuration Tool. Once the TCP collector is started, this attribute displays the value that what was configured for the stack.

Buffer Pool And VTAM Environment Collection Indicates whether or not VTAM buffer pool and environment statistics are being collected. The SNA collector assembles this data once every SNA collection interval. This value is stored as an integer and displayed as a string. The following are valid values:

If the value for this attribute is Yes, then data for VTAM buffer pools, applications, extents, and address spaces is being collected. This parameter is defined by the Buffer Pool/VTAM Environment Data Collection value that was set in the Configuration Tool on the "Specify Component Configuration (Page 3)" panel.

These are possible reasons that the value of this attribute might be No:

Collection Time The time and date at which status information was collected. This time is displayed in the following format:

mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss

Where:

The stored format is a string no longer than 16 characters in the format CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm (as in 1020315064501000 for 03/15/02 06:45:01) where:

CSM Buffer Reporting Collection Indicates whether or not VTAM communications storage manager (CSM) buffer reporting statistics are being collected. The SNA network monitoring interface (NMI) collects this data once every TCP collection interval. This value is stored as an integer and displayed as a string. The following are valid values:

This parameter is defined by the CSM Buffer Reporting value that was set in the Configuration Tool on the "Specify Component Configuration (Page 3)" panel. CSM Buffer Reporting Collection can be started while the monitoring agent is running with the KN3FCCMD START CSM command. The interval that you specified for this value using the Configuration Tool can be modified while the monitoring agent is running using the TCPCINTV parameter on the KN3FCCMD INSTALL TCPC command. See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Mainframe Networks: Planning and Configuration Guide for more information.

This attribute will have a value of No when the TCP collector is not started, regardless of what value was specified using the Configuration Tool. Once the TCP collector is started, this attribute displays the value that what was configured for the stack.

EE And HPR Collection Indicates whether or not Enterprise Extender (EE) and High Performance Routing (HPR) connection statistics are to be collected. The SNA network monitoring interface (NMI) collects this data once every TCP collection interval. This value is stored as an integer and displayed as a string. The following are valid values:

This parameter is defined by the Enterprise Extender and High Performance Routing Statistics Collection value that was set in the Configuration Tool on the "Specify Component Configuration (Page 3)" panel. EE and HPR Collection can be started while the monitoring agent is running with the KN3FCCMD START EEHPR command. The interval that you specified for this value using the Configuration Tool can be modified while the monitoring agent is running using the TCPCINTV parameter on the KN3FCCMD INSTALL TCPC command. See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Mainframe Networks: Planning and Configuration Guide for more information.

This attribute will have a value of No when the TCP collector is not started, regardless of what value was specified using the Configuration Tool. Once the TCP collector is started, this attribute displays the value that what was configured for the stack.

Origin Node The unique identifier for the Mainframe Networks agent node on the navigation tree. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 32 characters in this format: agentProcName:SMFID:KN3AGENT. This field is not displayed.

PMI Exit Name The alias name of the agent VTAM performance monitor interface (PMI) exit being used by this monitoring agent instance. The format is an 8-character string.

The agent PMI exit and its aliases must be made accessible to VTAM before VTAM environment and buffer pool data can be collected successfully. If the SNA Collection Started attribute in the Agent Status Attribute table has a value of No, indicating that the SNA collector is not started, this field will be blank.

Sysplex Name The name of the sysplex that the monitored system is part of. The format is a string of up to 8 characters. This field is not displayed.

System ID The SMF system ID. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 4 characters. This field is not displayed.
