CMF Processing › Building the Dictionary

Building the Dictionary

The sample JCL data set, CAJRJCL, contains two jobs that have been provided to automate the process of creating the CMF dictionary; CMFUTIL1 and CMFUTIL2. Under normal conditions these utilities need only be run once for each unique CICS release that is installed. If your installation uses different Monitoring Control Tables (MCTs) that specify different EMP's for the performance class, the utilities may need to be run against every CICS region that has a unique MCT. This depends on whether or not you choose to write out user data fields to the EXTDATA record, and how these fields differ from one MCT to the next. Both jobs execute using a series of control statements, required and optional. Control statements consist of a KEYWORD followed by one or more operands. The following rules concern the syntax of the keywords:

• Keywords can start anywhere but must end before column 72.
• An "*" in column 1 denotes a comment.
• A non-blank character in column 72 denotes a continuation.
• An operand must complete on the same line it was started on. Continuation of a broken operand is not permitted.
• One or more blanks may be used in place of delimiters shown, if desired.
