The SMF Interface

The SMF interface records each action and each security violation that occurs during CA Endevor SCM processing. SMF recording is done on an environment-by-environment basis. Therefore, you can selectively enable SMF recording for each of your environments.

Set the SMF Parameters in the Defaults Table

To request this interface, you must modify the CA Endevor SCM Defaults Table to include the appropriate SMF parameters. Do this by specifying the following parameters:

SMFREC#= in the TYPE=MAIN macro
SMFACT= and SMFSEC= in the TYPE=ENVRNMNT macro

Note: For more information about editing the table, see The Defaults Table.

Specify TYPE=MAIN Parameters

Specify the SMFREC# parameter in the TYPE=MAIN portion of the Defaults Table:

Col 1         Col 16                                      Col 72   
 
              CIDEFLTS TYPE=MAIN,                         X
              .  
              .
              .
              SMFREC#=0,          SMF RECORD NUMBER       X
              .  
              .
              .

Note: This is the SMF record number assigned to SMF records written by CA Endevor SCM at this site. For more information about this SMF parameter, see The TYPE=MAIN Macro.

Talk to a systems programmer at your site to ensure that you are collecting the SMF records related to the record number specified in the SMFREC# parameter. Recording records is controlled in SYS1.PARMLIB(SMFPRMxx).

Specify TYPE=ENVRNMNT Parameters

You should specify at least one of the following SMF parameters in the TYPE=ENVRNMNT portion of the Defaults Table:

Col 1         Col 16                                          Col 72   
 
              CIDEFLTS TYPE=ENVRNMNT,                         X
              .  
              .
              .
              SMFFACT=N,          SMF ACTIVITY OPTION (Y/N)   X
              SMSEC=N,            SMF SECURITY OPTION (Y/N)   X  
              .  
              .
              .

These parameters are defined as follows:

SMFACT: Indicates whether CA Endevor SCM should write out SMF Action Records. Set this parameter to Y if you want the Action Records written out. Otherwise, set the parameter to N.
SMFSEC: Indicates whether CA Endevor SCM should write out SMF Security Records. Set this parameter to Y if you want the Security Records written out. Otherwise, set the parameter to N.

Note: For more information about the SMF parameters, see The TYPE=ENVRNMNT Macro.
