Configuration Database Files Used for the OSS Transport Agent
Servers
The ZOSSSERV file is the OSS transport agent server configuration database, and it
contains an automatically created entry that identifies the characteristics of each OSS
transport agent server process. This entry cannot be changed.
When a default ZOSSSERV file is created by the OSS Monitor, it contains a #ZTAnn
entry for each copy of the OSS transport agent server process, $ZTAnn. These entries
have the following default values:
The number of entries and the value of nn for each entry depends on the number of
processors on the node that are up when the OSS Monitor starts.
The OSS Monitor updates the OSS transport agent server entries in the ZOSSSERV
file each time the OSS Monitor starts. For example, if processors 0 and 1 of a four-
processor system are up when the OSS Monitor starts, the ZOSSSERV file contains a
record for #ZTA00 and a record for #ZTA01.
