Customize SMF/E with CA Mainframe Software Manager Software Configuration Services (SCS)

SMF/E can also be customized using SCS along with the Software Deployment Service of CA Mainframe Software Manager.

To verify that the CA JARS Resource Accounting software has been deployed use the Customization Wizard. The panels guide you through this procedure.

Follow these steps:

Define and Target Panel

1. Name your configuration.

   Configurations can be named manually, or a name can be generated.

2. Select the system where this configuration is processed.
3. (optional) Specify a description.
4. Click Next.

Select Functions and Options Panel

To indicate that you want to configure SMF/E, select CA JARS Resource Accounting.

This selection automatically checks the customize SMF/E box.

1. Click Next.

Define System Preferences Panel

This panel changes the settings of system variables. System variables are not used during SMF/E Customization.

1. Click Next.

Create Target Settings Panel

To customization SMF/E, set up the rates and modifiers for SMF/E that are used in constructing the YJ2000 source. The YJ2000 source is used in estimating the costs for batch jobs and TSO sessions.

SYSOUT

Class that is used when the configuration process is implemented.

Default: Asterisk

Any printed output is written to the default output class for started tasks.

Recommended: Change this parameter to a standard held output class at your installation, when the default class is not held automatically.

SMF/E rates

SMF/E rates are preset to the shipped defaults included in the YJ2000 program that is in the sample source library.

To modify and then select the rate to change:

1. Click the set of rates.

Note: The formats of the rates in the default settings are the formats that the SMF/E customization expects.

Example:

The default Batch DISK-I/O-FACTOR has a value of 5.00 (meaning five currency units per 1000 DASD I/Os). The customization process expects the value to be of the format of n.nn. Anything other format can generate an error in customization. The same is true for the TSO Rates. In some cases, the options are sets of switches between a fixed set of values, in this case select one of the values.

Note: The default value the switch is set to is the value shipped in the sample YJ2000.

SMF/E modifiers

SMF/E modifiers allow adjustment to charges based on the job class and job priority if desired.

Job classes

All of these modifiers indicate a percentage adjustment.

Default: 100

Format: three-digit number

This 100 percent adjustment indicates that the cost of running a job in that job class adjusts to 100 percent of the cost. This 100 percent means that there is no change to the estimated cost base on the Job Class.

To bill job classes at a cheaper rate, change the percentage to a lower number.

To bill job classes at a premium rate, adjust the percentage upward.

Priority modifiers

Specify up to ten priority modifiers.

Default: First entry is the default percentage for all unspecified priorities.

Format: pp,nnn where pp is the two-digit priority and nnn is the three-digit percentage.

Recommended: Set the first entry to 00,100 meaning that the default priority adjustment is 100 percent.

To set verify the priority modifiers default:

1. Reply yes to the priority modifier question by acknowledging that you noticed that this priority modifier is the default.

   Note: When more than ten priority adjustments are needed, enter the default and nine other priority settings. Once configuration is complete and the source is generated, edit the source directly outside of SCS to add the additional priority subtable entries.

Assembly work unit

This option is used in the source generation, assembly, and the linking process.

Specify a DASD class for the SCS file allocation.

Default: SYSDA

Note: These files are not temporary files as traditionally defined, in that they are allocated permanently during the configuration process. These files are deleted once configuration completes successfully.

Save the generated product.

This option saves the generated product source.

Default: Yes

Recommended: Save the source for future reference.

To save the source produce, by customization:

1. Answer yes.
2. Specify the dataset name where the generated source will be written.

   Note: This specified dataset must be preallocated with an LRECL of 80 bytes and a RECFM of FB or F.

3. Enter the dataset name of the generated SYSLIN dataset from the assembly that is used to create the customization load module.

   Note: The SYSLIN dataset is not a temporary dataset in the traditional sense, but it is allocated and deleted during the implementation of this configuration.

4. Click Next.

Select and Edit Resources Panel

No changes for this panel.

1. Click Next.

Review and Build Panel

To review the options and setting for SMF/E:

1. Click Target Settings.
2. If the settings are valid, click Build.
3. To make any needed changes, click Back, until you are at the Target Settings.
4. Make any necessary adjustments, click Next, until are back on the Review and Build panel.

Configuration built

When the configuration is built, implement this configuration in SCS.

The output load module with the configuration information (JSYJ2000) is linked edited into the deployed CAJRLOAD library. The generated source is saved into the named specified dataset (when save dataset was selected).
