Running With the Repository

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

Set the environment variable CA_OPR_ZOSDB to ‘Y’ or ‘YES’ in the file PROFILE found in the directory /cai/nsmem. This setting 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, complete the following tasks before starting Event Management:

• Update the MUF DATAPOOL parameter. Change the CA Datacom/AD startup and tuning parameter member for the MUF. To do so, alter the DATAPOOL to include a set of five hundred 12-K data buffers.

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

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

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