Sending Data to Multiple TSF Regions

If you have multiple installations of CA Chorus, complete the following steps to transmit data to multiple Time Series Facility (TSF) regions:

Note: These steps are not needed unless you want to send data from a given DB2 subsystem to more than one CA Chorus installation. For information about concurrent versions with TSF, see the Upgrade Guide. For information about remote TSF systems, see the Manual Configuration Guide.

1. Copy the TPDTFEED STEP PRDTSF in the TPDTFEED started task directly underneath the original PRDTSF step, and specify a new STEPNAME. For example:

   //*-----------------------------------------------------------   
   //PRDTSF  EXEC PGM=PDTTSF,REGION=0M,COND=(4,LE,UNLOAD),          
   // PARM='-I&ITIME &ETIME'                                        
   //STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&TGTPFX..CDBALOAD                    
   //INFILE   DD  DISP=SHR,                                         
   //             DSN=&TPDTHLQ..PDTTSF.DB2&SSID..D&VDATE..T&VTIME   
   //SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                                          
   //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                          
   //SYSERR   DD  SYSOUT=*                                          
   //STDERR   DD  SYSOUT=*                                          
   //CEEDUMP  DD  SYSOUT=*                                          
   //*-----------------------------------------------------------   
   //OTHERTSF  EXEC PGM=PDTTSF,REGION=0M,COND=(4,LE,UNLOAD),        
   // PARM='-I&ITIME &ETIME'                                        
   //STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&TGTPFX..CDBALOAD                    
   //INFILE   DD  DISP=SHR,                                           
   //             DSN=&TPDTHLQ..PDTTSF.DB2&SSID..D&VDATE..T&VTIME     
   //SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                                            
   //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                            
   //SYSERR   DD  SYSOUT=*                                            
   //STDERR   DD  SYSOUT=*                                            
   //CEEDUMP  DD  SYSOUT=*
   

2. Specify the additional TSF region using a unique value for the TSFSUFFIX parameter (-T) in the PARM statement. This value must match TSFSUFFIX of the TSF region you are connecting to. For example, to start a second TSF region with a TSFSUFFIX of O, specify -TO as follows:

   // PARM='-I&ITIME -TO &ETIME'
   

   Note: By default, TSFSUFFIX (-T) is not required.

3. Save your changes to the TPDTFEED started task.

   In this example, the OTHERTSF step connects to the TSF region with a TSFSUFFIX of O. This region runs on the same LPAR as the TPDTFEED started task executes.
