Running the Analyzer in online mode
The primary reporting facility in HCL Z Asset Optimizer is the Analyzer. You can use the Analyzer in online mode to view reports, run queries, and drill down to related reports.

Reporting with the Analyzer
The primary reporting facility in HCL Z Asset Optimizer is the Analyzer.
- Analyzer prerequisites
  The Analyzer uses the Db2® Call Library Interface (ODBC/CLI), also used by the Inquisitor Import, Usage Import and other batch components, and the z/OS® socket application programming interface. For the SQLite database, the Analyzer uses an internal ODBC interface.
- Analyzer JCLLIB and PARMLIB members
  Several JCLLIB and PARMLIB members are used when you run the Analyzer to generate reports.
- Running the Analyzer in online mode
  The primary reporting facility in HCL Z Asset Optimizer is the Analyzer. You can use the Analyzer in online mode to view reports, run queries, and drill down to related reports.
  - Analyzer communication port
    The Analyzer communication port is defined by using the HTTPPORT setting.
  - Analyzer inactivity timeout
    The Analyzer communication inactivity timeout is defined by using the INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT setting.
  - Analyzer security
    You can view Analyzer reports in a web browser, such as Firefox, and you can communicate with the Analyzer utility to perform interactive queries.
  - Analyzer BASIC security
    HZASANP1 in the PARMLIB defines basic user ID security settings for running the Analyzer.
  - Analyzer SYSTEM security
    HZASANP2 in the PARMLIB defines the system security settings for running the Analyzer.
  - SSL Certificates
    When the Analyzer is running with SYSTEM=SECURITY, you must have an SSL Certificate defined in your SAF/RACF® security system. You can either generate your own certificate, or connect to an existing certificate.
  - Online login to the Analyzer
    With the Analyzer reporting utility, you can log in with a browser to gain access to the Analyzer Asset, Discovery, and Administration reports and to any Custom reports that you create.
  - Controlling the Analyzer address space
    The Analyzer supports the STOP, REFRESH, and TRACE z/OS® modify commands.
- Running the Analyzer in batch mode
  If you want to automate report generation, you can run the Analyzer in batch mode.

About this task

Db2 only:

The Db2 subsystem must first be active before starting up the Analyzer. After the Analyzer starts, it needs to access the Db2 Catalogs to obtain the list of repositories. If the Db2 subsystem is not active, the error message below appears in the Analyzer joblog.
```
13:15:09(0) COULD NOT QUERY SYSIBM.SYSTABLES FOR REPOSITORY - 
SQLAllocHandle for connection handle failed - rc -1                                                      
{DB2 FOR OS/390}{ODBC DRIVER}  SQLSTATE=58004  ERRLOC=2:56:9  
  CAF "CONNECT" failed using DB2 system:DSN1                  
  RC=08 and REASON=00f30012
```
The Db2 subsystem can be stopped while the Analyzer is still active, but it will remain in a wait state. If a user logs in and tries to access a repository, the error message below will appear on the Analyzer report. When the Db2 subsystem is next started, users can login again and will automatically re-establish connection to Db2.
```
SQLAllocHandle for connection handle failed
 - rc -1
{DB2 FOR OS/390}{ODBC DRIVER}  SQLSTATE=58004  ERRLOC=2:56:9
  CAF "CONNECT" failed using DB2 system:DSN1
  RC=08 and REASON=00f30012         
```

HZASANLO job in the JCLLIB is used to run Analyzer in online mode as a batch job.

//HZASANLO EXEC HZAJANLO,TPARAM=HZASANP1

To run the Analyzer in online mode as a Started Task, copy the HZAJANLO from the JCLLIB to a system PROCLIB data set. Here is a sample for running the started task in a Db2 subsystem.

When the Analyzer is run with online mode, configuration options must be defined in the TPARAM DD, including the communication port, security mode, and inactivity timeout.
