From cust: Do we still need to run a NetSpy started task if all we are using is NetMaster for TCP/IP?
Environment
OS: z/OS.
Resolution
E-mail sent to cust: -
From my case update you can see NetSpy is no longer part of the NM suite.
L2 Support has provided these additional remarks: -
If cust aren't using NetSpy for any purpose then the answer is that they don't need to have a NetSpy running task. NetSpy is a very specific SNA legacy product. If they don't use it for response times reports or anything else I would suggest they just shut it down.
