Running With the Repository

If you are using Calendars or Message Actions, a CA Datacom/AD repository and MUF are required. If CAIENF is setup to record events, then the same MUF that is used by CAIENF should be used for Event Management. This is true regardless of whether ENFIMUF or ENFXMUF is being used. For more information about how CAIENF uses CA Datacom/AD, see the CA CAIENF Best Practices chapter in this guide.

You must set the environment variable CA_OPR_ZOSDB to ‘Y’ or ‘YES’ in the file PROFILE found in directory /cai/nsmem. This should have been done with the D5II0050 SAMPJCL member but can be set at any time before starting Event Management.

To ensure the best performance when running Event Management with the repository, two steps should be completed before starting Event Management.

• Update the MUF DATAPOOL parameter. Change the CA Datacom/AD startup and tuning parameter member for the MUF by altering the DATAPOOL to include a set of five hundred 12K data buffers.

  Depending upon how you are running the MUF, refer to the CAIENF or CA Datacom/AD MUF startup procedure JCL SYSIN DD statement to determine the data set and member name containing the startup and tuning parameters.

  DATAPOOL  8K,2000,12K,500
  DATA BUFFER SIZE, # OF BUFFERS
  

  This generates the number of buffers with the proper buffer size to ensure the best performance of Event Management with CA Datacom/AD.

• Assemble and Link DBMSTLST into the CA Datacom/AD CUSLIB. SAMPJCL job D5IDBMST will accomplish this. This will ensure that enough memory is set aside for the largest data buffers.
