Towards the OSA and beyond - Using Wireshark for z/OS Packet Trace Analysis

Project and Program: Enterprise Data Center, Communications Server

Tags: Proceedings , SHARE in Anaheim 2012 , 2012

The days are over when connectivity problems in the System z could solely be solved by z/OS personnel only. In today's modern multi-tier multi-platform application designs a new approach in network diagnosis is required. While the z/OS packet trace is always a good start on the quest to the real root cause of a problem, unfortunately outside the zSeries the SYSTCPDA packet trace is not known well enough to serve as a trusted evidence. This session will demonstrate how the use of wireshark helped to speed up problem resoution for problems that surfaced on z/Os but had their root cause outside the mainframe. This session is a preparation for a wireshark hands-on lab session Matthias Burkhard ; IBM Corporation
