  1. Copy the following RTM sample members from DTS.R71.SLyyddd.SAM- PLIB to the rule library. By default, the rule library is named DTS.R71.RULE- LIB. The following members may require configuration. Instructions for the modifications are found in each member:

    MONPOOLS If your installation is already running MON-Snapshot, this member had already been configured for the pool defini- tions. Otherwise, use the samplib member to create a MONPOOLS in rulelib. By default, the statements in the sample rule create pool definitions for each SMS storage group. A device pool is also created for the non-SMS vol- umes (NONSMSPL).

    RTMRULES By default, the sample rules write DADSM event log records to the MON-ExplorerHDB service via the RTMDB DD statement located in the DIF started task. The rules can be modified to intercept the VTOC FULL condi- tions or DUPLICATE DATASET ON VOLUME condi- tions, and report the errors to storage management personnel.

    @RTMRULE change, remove or add rule statements as required for your installation. Usually no modifications to this member are needed.

  2. Modify START00 - Modify the START00 member in the parameter library to include the following statements. If you just completed the installation verifi- cation procedure for Monitor, please remove the IVRMON name specified on the START MON command. By default, the following start MON command com- piles MONPOOLS and the start RTM command compiles RTMRULES. 
    START MON 
START RTM
  3. Modify DIF JCL to include the RTM Database - By default, the RTMDB DD statement is delivered with the DIF JCL in the product distribution libraries. If you already have an existing DIF member and that does not include the RTMDB DD statement, please add the following card to the DIF member in your system procedure library. 
    //RTMDB DD DUMMY
  4. Install the MON-ExplorerHDB Service and the MON-Explorer GUI Appli- cation - Refer to the MON-Explorer User’s Guide for instructions on installing and implementing the MON-Explorer product.

    Note: This step can be performed either before or concurrently with the RTM quick start.

  5. Route RTMDB Records to MON-ExplorerHDB - Add the following statement to the DIFINIT member which points to another PARMLIB member called DIFCONN. 
    INITOPT EXEC(CONNECTS(DIFCONN))

    Create the DIFCONN member in DTS.R61.PARMLIB and add the following statement to define database IP address and port connectivity. Note: The follow- ing statement assumes the IP address of the machine where the Explorer History MySQL database resides (192.168.4.4) and port 1010.

    DEFCONN RTMDB TCPIP(192.168.4.4 1010 TCP CRLF) ASCII
    Note:

    The TCPIP started task name and Port number are installation dependent. Ask the network administrator for an available port, or examine the PORT con- trol card found in PROFILE DD statement allocated to the TCPIP started task JCL. The name of the TCPIP started task can usually be found using the follow- ing MVS console command:

    D A,TCP*
  6. Restart DIF - If the DIF started task is not active, please start DIF. The RTM component will automatically be activated via the START commands specified in the START00 member. If DIF is already active, use the following commands to restart the DIF started task. 
    F DIF,Z 
S DIF
  7. Verify RTMDB Records are being Written - After DIF has restarted, issue a DIF LIST CONNECTS command to determine whether RTM records are being written to the RTMDB log file. The output will display the number of records sent through the connection to the MON-Explorer HDB service. 
    F DIF,LIST CONNECTS
