Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• The NetView for z/OS Discovery Library Adapter for TCP/IP (DLA)
  extracts TCP/IP resources and relationships from the NetView for
  z/OS RODM data cache, formats the data into an output XML file,
  and sends that managed resource information to the IBM Tivoli
  Change and Configuration Management Database (CCMDB).  Source
  data comes from NetView via the NetView for z/OS MultiSystem
  Manager (MSM) IP agent.
  
  NetView for z/OS TCP/IP data in the CCMDB database enables
  consuming applications, such as the Tivoli Application
  Dependency Discovery Manager (TADDM) to locate resources
  discovered by other providers, such as an FTP Server or Router,
  in a TCP/IP network.  This resource correlation helps operators
  and network analysts to solve outages and improve configuration
  and change management.  Of particular value is the synergy in
  CCMDB between TCP/IP z/OS resources discovered by NetView for
  z/OS and z/OS resources discovered by the DLA.
  
  The function is implemented with a new command, CNMDLAR, which
  gathers TCP/IP data from the NetView for z/OS RODM data cache
  and forwards it to a CCMDB server.
  
  For more information about this function, refer to the CNMREAD4
  file shipped with this maintenance.
