  • 1.  z/osmf links, access BMC CMF data

    Posted Thu December 09, 2021 12:24 PM
    hello,
      we have switched from using RMF iii to BMC/CMF. the z/osmf performance/dash boards do not work now. BMC does not have a plugin to access CMF data like  RMFIII. they do have a way to use Common REST API (CRA) tomcat server to access access BMC/mainview/CMF data. has anyone done this and made it work?
    thanks,
      Steve

    Steve,  Apologies for such a late response... but the RM application in z/OSMF is only available for RMF.  The application for RMF is a simple web based front end to the RMF data server data.  RM application is also linked to the WLM application and vice versa.  The links between the apps are programmable and could be cross linked to some other performance monitoring application.  Adding a BMC web based application could be done and further if you want the cross linking (application linking) ability BMC and IBM would need to work together.  We would be happy to work with BMC but it typically requires a client (like yourself) to initiate the activity with the vendor.  Thanks, Gary
