CMFUTIL1 - Create Dictionary for CICS 1.7 through 2.1.2

CMFUTIL1 is only used for CICS releases 1.7 through 2.1.2. If your site is only running CICS 3.2 and above, then this job does not apply to you and you can proceed to the information pertaining to the CMFUTIL2 utility.

The CMFUTIL1 utility contains two steps. The first step creates an SMF format data set containing the CICS CMF dictionary record. The record is built using both predefined CICS fields and user-defined fields that are extracted from the MCT for the respective CICS region. The dictionary record is written to a data set associated with the CAJRCMFO ddname. This utility uses the following control statements:

SYSID=sysid

Identifies the system that the SMF data sets belong to

APPLID=applid

The VTAM APPLID of the CICS region that you want this dictionary built for

MCT=xx

The suffix for the monitoring control table (MCT) that was specified at CICS startup for the CICS region that this dictionary is being built for.

Step two builds the dictionary using the CMF dictionary created in the first step. The output dictionary data set from step one is identified as input to this step using the CAJRCMFI ddname. The dictionary that is created in this step is specified on the CAJRCMFO ddname. The output of this step is used as input to the JSIMAIN program using the CAIJSDCI DD statement. The program that is executed by this step is the same as step two of the CMFUTIL2 job.
