 Software part of the product is responsible for data collection and sending it to
the server to save the data in a common place in VM.
•
Log Server / Data Repository
 The collected data are stored in the common Data repository. Log Server is a
VM machine always listening for the Log data from either the VPARS or the
Worker Machine for the log data. The server refers to the configuration file to
determine the location of each type of log data and also for the house keeping
activities for each log type.
•
Report Generator
 An utility is been provided in zTPFGI to generate report on the log data based
on the filters provided by the administrator. There are no separate steps to

• PDWDATA (PRODUCT DATA REPOSITORY)
 Data repository for zTPFGI components
 Virtual Machine ID – usually PDWDATA
 Trace Logs, Usage Logs, Audit Logs and other data files
that are created by the various other products (RTF, DFX
etc) of zTPFGI suite are saved.
• PDWDATA VM ID has to be allocated to the SFS
(Shared File System) Pool.
