Receiving error DBG550I9I DB2 location not known to SYSVIEW for DB2 in a 3-way sysplex environment trying to communicate via RAF

Products

• SYSVIEW Performance Management Option for DB2 for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

Three way sysplex with Data Sharing.  Can execute Sysview for Db2 for z/OS (IDB2) locally on two systems,
but attempting to communicate to a remote DC via RAF receive error:

DBG550I9I DB2 location not known to SYSVIEW for DB2


All three systems are running off of the same libraries due to shared DASD.

Cause

The cause of the problem was the lack of valid hardware paths between the LPARs.

Resolution

The IDB2 Data Collector APPLIDs need to be defined correctly (as illustrated in the RAFDCAPP hlq.SOURCE member). 
Also, a correct setup for the LOGMODE along with valid hardware paths between the machines (LPARS) need to
be in place to allow for RAF to function properly.
