How to Customize the Time Series Facility Database

The Time Series Facility (TSF) provides a single point for collection, storage, management, and organization of product data. When you request a Time Series chart in the Investigator, CA Chorus displays the data stored in the TSF database. The Investigator helps you view and analyze information stored in role-specific data repositories by providing multiple work areas (panes) to help you manage your data.

This scenario shows how a system administrator can customize the TSF database to optimize its performance. The following illustration describes the tasks to customize the TSF database:

Note: For the first and fourth tasks, you identify CA Chorus messages and then define them as triggers in your automation product, such as CA OPS/MVS.

Perform the following tasks to customize the TSF Database:

1. Automate Database Space Monitoring
2. (Optional) Check Space Used by the TSF Database Manually
3. Manage Stored Metric Data
4. Automate the Reclaim Free Space Process
