Running the Collector for the first time

To run the Collector for the first time configure the region options using option 2 of the Collector Main Administration Screen before gathering any dependency or affinity data.

See Figure 1, to: For more information about setting Collector options, see Changing the Collector options.

If you have migrated the CIUCNTL control file from a previous CICS IA release, some CICS regions might already be configured for monitoring. For information about migrating the CICS IA control file, see Migrating the VSAM control record file

If you have not migrated the CIUCNTL control file from a previous CICS IA release (in which case, CICS IA's global values will already have been set up), before you try to gather any dependency or affinity data choose the global values menu options to set up CICS IA's global values, see Figure 1.
