The Syncsort Capacity Management data capture program for IBM z/VM main­frame systems is called Acquire for z/VM. Throughout this section, the word Acquire means Acquire for z/VM.
  • This section relates to the current version of Acquire for z/VM

  • You can only use the output of these programs with Athene 12.40 or later

  • Acquire for z/VM can process z/VM MONITOR records or summarized data created from the Velocity Software product zMON® (formerly called ESA­MON)

Acquire currently only runs in a z/OS environment where it generates data for use by the main Syncsort Capacity Management applications. You must copy your z/VM data to a z/OS system in order to process it.

When you have captured data, you must either set up collection of the data, or make it available to the Windows machine where the Control Center component of Syncsort Capacity Management is installed. The Syncsort Capacity Management Control Center is the application that imports data into a database.

Control Center expects to find data in the directory that was defined to a given target system via the System Manager interface, and that is named according to standard conventions. Refer to Output file names and controls and the following sections, for more information about how to do this.

This section describes:

  • How to install and run Acquire

  • How to confirm that the output it produces is reasonable

Any changes to these instructions will be issued the in the Release Notice accompanying the software.
