Implementation scenarios

Implementation scenarios step you through the creation of runtime environments (RTEs) and the configuration of components and products in those environments. The QCF scenarios use the Quick configuration mode; the PGN scenarios use the Standard configuration mode.
Table 1 summarizes the features of the RTEs in the QCF scenarios. Note that model profiles that begin with $ represent best-practice RTEs.

QCF16 @MDLASB Sharing-with-base N/A No RTE configuration template for sharing-with-base read-only libraries RTE (Agents only connecting to a non-local TEMS configured in another RTE or running on another non-z/OS platform)
QCF17 @MDLASSV Sharing-with-SMP/E N/A Yes RTE configuration template for sharing-with-SMP/E target read-only datasets RTE (Agents only with variables enabled connecting to a non-local TEMS configured in another RTE or running on another non-z/OS platform)
QCF18 @MDLASS Sharing-with-SMP/E N/A No RTE configuration template for sharing-with-SMP/E datasets RTE (Agents only connecting to a non-local TEMS configured in another RTE or running on another non-z/OS platform)
QCF19 $MDLHSSV Sharing-with-SMP/E Hub Yes RTE configuration template for sharing-with-SMP/E target read-only datasets RTE (Static Hub TEMS, enhanced 3270 user interface (TOM) and OMEGAMON for JVM (KJJ) Agent only with variables enabled)
QCF20 $MDLHSS Sharing-with-SMP/E Hub No RTE configuration template for sharing-with-SMP/E target read-only datasets RTE (Static Hub TEMS, enhanced 3270 user interface (TOM) and OMEGAMON for JVM (KJJ) Agent only)
QCF21 $MDLHSBV Sharing-with-base Hub Yes Predefined RTE models include a z/OS Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS, whether this is a Hub TEMS or a Remote TEMS), an OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface (TOM) and both types of z/OS monitoring Agents (Agents that run in the z/OS TEMS address space and Agents that run in their own standalone Agent address spaces).
QCF22 @MDLHSSV Sharing-with-SMP/E Hub Yes Predefined RTE models include a z/OS Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS, whether this is a Hub TEMS or a Remote TEMS), an OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface (TOM) and both types of z/OS monitoring Agents (Agents that run in the z/OS TEMS address space and Agents that run in their own standalone Agent address spaces).

The PGN scenarios build upon one another. For example, the runtime environment in scenario PGN02 imports values specified for the runtime environment created in scenario PGN01. With the exception of QCF10, the QCF scenarios illustrate the use of IBM-provided model RTEs to create new RTEs.

Table 2 summarizes the type of runtime environment and its features for each of the PGN scenarios.
Table 2. Summary of PGN scenario features
Scenario RTE name RTE type Monitoring server type Converted/Cloned/Upgraded System variables
PGN01 PLB1SP22 Full Hub No No
PGN02 PLB3SYSG Sharing-with-base Remote No Yes
PGN03 PLBHAHUB Full HA hub No No
PGN04 PLB2SP23 Sharing-with-SMP/E Remote Cloned No
PGN05 PLB3SP13 Sharing-with-base Remote Converted/upgrade Yes
Tips:
  • These scenarios assume that you are using the PARMGEN Workflow interface to perform the configuration steps.
  • For information on getting help for parameters, see the online help in the configuration profile (F1).
  • For locating and changing values for related parameters, see XF edit macro.

Scenarios involving maintenance-type tasks that you can perform using the PARMGEN method are in SMP/E maintenance and upgrade scenarios and Runtime environment reconfiguration scenarios. Scenarios that illustrate how to clone RTEs and deploy them to other LPARS are in Deployment scenarios.
