The first step in implementing an EXTDATA reporting environment is to decide which EXTDATA records will be required to satisfy your reporting requirements. This product can create EXTDATA records from most of the SMF and RMF record types available including the DB2, CICS, and MQSeries subsystems. If CA JARS is directed to create EXTDATA from all available data sources, the Account/History files can become quite large. It is therefore recommended that users choose to create only those EXTDATA records necessary for their reporting requirements. Under the heading EXTDATA Record Types, later in this chapter, is a table that lists all EXTDATA record types and the associated SMF/RMF record types that were used to generate them. After examining this table and determining which EXTDATA record types are appropriate for your environment, you may instruct this product to create these EXTDATA records during batch executions through specifications on the EXTDATA control statement. See the "Control Statements and Tables" chapter in this guide for details. Once you have reviewed your reporting requirements and added the EXTDATA control statement to your batch execution JCL, you have completed the first step in implementing EXTDATA reporting.
