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 Collector Main
Administration Menu panel, CIU000, to:
- Specify at least one CICS® region to be monitored
- Specify (in further screens) the CICS, CICSPlex® SM, DB2®, MQ, and IMS™ commands to be monitored on that region
- Specify (in a further screen) whether dependency or affinity data is to be collected on that region, with some other region-specific options
If you have migrated the CIUCNTL control file from a previous CICS IA release, some CICS regions might already be configured for monitoring.
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 Collector Global Options Menu panel, CIU300.
