Identify the CA Disk FILES Data Sets or FILES Databases

To view and analyze all the subfiles of your CA Disk FILES Data Sets or FILES Databases, you must identify them to CA Vantage GMI. If you have converted any of your CA Disk FILES Data Sets to FILES Databases, the name of the FILES Data Set is used to locate the associated FILES Database, that is, you only have to identify FILES Data Set names. The CA Disk system will dynamically determine the conversion status of the FILES Data Set and access the FILES Databases where appropriate. Specify all the names within a <FILELIST> section in the CONFIG member of PARMLIB. If the CONFIG member does not exist in your PARMLIB, simply copy it from the CCTUSAMP library.

To use <FILELIST>

1. Edit PARMLIB member CONFIG, and create a <FILELIST> section at the end.
2. Supply the names of your Files Data Sets.

   If the list is all unconverted FILES Data Sets or if it is all converted FILES Data Sets (FILES Databases), the list is processed in the order specified. If the list contains a mixture of unconverted and converted entries (FILES Data Sets and FILES Databases), the list is split into two internal lists with the FILES Databases being accessed first and the FILES Data Sets being accessed second. The order of each of those internal lists is based on the order of the original list. The list would look something like the following. A maximum of 255 are supported.

   <FILELIST>
   CA.DISK.FILES1
   CA.DISK.FILES2
   

3. Specify sysparm FILELIST (<FILELIST>) to activate the section. Use the Config Client to specify this system parameter, this system parameter can be found in the Config Client directory: Configure GMI Qualified Products, CA Disk, Files data sets, Typical parameters.
4. Set CA Vantage GMI sysparm SUDMS to Y, to activate the CA Disk objects. Use the Config Client to specify this system parameter, this system parameter can be found in the Config Client directory: Configure GMI Qualified Products, CA Disk, Files data sets, Typical parameters.

Alternatively, if you have no more than 15 FILES, you can use system parameters FILES1 to FILES15 to specify their names. But if you have more than 15, you must use the FILELIST option. The order of this list of FILES is handled just like the list created by using FILELIST. Use the Config Client to set the system parameters FILES1 to FILES15, these can be found in the Config Client directory: Configure GMI Qualified Products, CA Disk, Files data sets, Optional Parameters.

Note: For more information about Input Lists, see the chapter “Configuring Multiple Systems” in the CA Vantage GMI Configuration Guide, and the section Input List in chapter “Reference Topics” in the CA Vantage GMI Reference Guide.
