AutoCollect Process › Setting Up the AutoCollect Environment › Selecting a MUF as a Source for Collection

Selecting a MUF as a Source for Collection

You can select one or more source MUF environments per repository environment. The source and repository can both be in the same MUF environment.

To target a MUF environment as the source for data collection, you must know its MUFNAME. The MUFNAME value is established during MUF initiation. If the MUF startup option MUF mufname is specified, the MUFNAME value is required. This value must be a unique 8-byte name.

If the MUF mufname start-up option is not specified, the MUFNAME value is created using the z/OS batch job name or started task information.

To help ensure accuracy, all MUF source environments used for the AutoCollect process, should be uniquely identified using the MUF mufname startup option. For more information about specifying the MUFNAME, see the CA Datacom/DB Database and System Administration Guide.

Note: If you have the CA SYSVIEW Datacom option, you can use its DCLIST function to list all MUFs on a given LPAR, select a MUF job, and then issue a DCMUFS command to get the MUF identity information which includes the active MUFNAME.
