Hi, Chris,
Many thanks for your explanation.
I just looked into the manual "Open Systems Adapter-Express Customer's
Guide and Reference", and it is definitly not what we need or want.
regards

I'm not at all sure I understand what you are saying here. I assumed you
wanted performance information for the system or systems which you ran.
What has "my company's product" got to do with it?
Just assuming for the moment that you really do want advice on how to
manage multiple systems, without having examined the Ernie's presentation in
detail but having read a bit about OSA management in the past, you would be
operating a type of "client-server" called actually "manager-agent" where you
work with one "client/manager" and can access/manage
many "servers/agents".
The "agent" is an SNMP agent and that comes with z/OS Communications
Server at no extra cost, I believe. The agent is actually a subagent of the
SNMP agent, it is called "The OSA-Express direct SNMP subagent" and is
documented in the "Open Systems Adapter-Express Customer's Guide and
Reference" manual:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?
uid=isg2bc4ae2e43bfcf12c85256cee000d1130
Since the "agent" support is "at no extra cost" as I believe, the number of
systems is irrelevant since each system will necessarily be running z/OS
Communications Server.
SNMP being a very "open" management technique, you can implement
the "manager" any way you like. You can use a product which costs money
such as NetView or you can use a product which you yourself create which
costs your time and effort. I've done some of the latter sort of SNMP work -
although I was using a NetView base - and it was fun!
And therefore I am investigating to get out some data without additional
software, only with using "existing" APIs or callable services and so on.
What I have just described is exactly that - using SNMP and sockets
programming.

If I Google "osa-express netview", the 1st and 4th "hits" offer what looks
kike
it could be much the same presentation from my old friend Ernie Gilman -
still
going strong! - which appears to address your concerns.
Please let us know otherwise.

Hi, all,
We need to get some realtime-performance-values about actual
network-usage for the used hardwareadapter and active connections.
With RMF there is no possibility, and I only found some calls with
TCPIP-NMI.
I would appreciate any hints.
Thanks in advance
