<h1 class="topictitle1">Send PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> data
with Service Agent over Extreme Support (Universal Connection)</h1>
<div><p>PM <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> uses
Collection Services to gather the nonproprietary performance and capacity
data from your server. After you have collected this data, you can use Electronic
Service Agent™ over Extreme Support to send the data to IBM<sup>®</sup>.</p>
<div class="section">To take advantage of these capabilities, you must have V5R1 or V5R2
installed on your servers or V4R5 with the Universal Connection fixes applied.
Here are the steps to follow to configure for PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span>:</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Activate PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span>.</span> <p>You must start PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> to
take advantage of its data collecting capabilities.</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Set up your Management Central network.</span> <p>Define which
server is your central system and which servers are your endpoint systems.
You can use this network hierarchy to send your data from your endpoint systems
to a central location before sending the data to IBM.</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Connect to IBM to transmit your data with the Universal Connection.</span> <p>This is the connection that Management Central will use to transmit
the PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> data to IBM.
In previous releases, you used the electronic customer support (ECS) connection
that ran over SNA. When you use the Universal Connection, you can transmit
your data over TCP/IP.</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Gather PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> performance
data.</span> <p>Use the Management Central inventory function to gather
your data.</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Send your data to IBM.</span> <p>Use the Electronic Service Agent™,
which is available under Extreme Support in the Management Central hierarchy,
to send your data to IBM. The Electronic Service Agent uses
the Universal Connection.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<div class="section"><p>You can also send data with the SNA protocol.</p>
<p>Once you have
configured PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span>, you
are ready to do the other tasks to manage PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span>.</p>
