    From IBM on the behalf of the customer
    EXTERNAL EMAIL

    We all think this is what GM is asking for and we can now add the customer to that list. Here is his response:

    I think this is what we've asked for. A batch job to set up the ITOM configuration for the collector on the lpar that will be the new “home” of the collector instance. (Remember, this is HA – not DR. Its just another lpar in the sysplex.)

    If you think about this for just a few seconds… this means that we could have that as the first step of the collector started task that would set-up the configuration of the collector instance which will start-up in the second step of the started task!

    If that is what this means, then yes, this is exactly what we're asking for.
