The successful creation, maintenance, and longevity of a large database system such as CA MICS requires a closely monitored approach to the periodic updating processes. Understanding the data source used in the database update process is particularly important for the CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer. The intent of this chapter is to help you understand the SMF data sources and to aid in the decision-making process used to tailor SMF data recording at your site. This chapter discusses operational considerations for both the SMF data collection process and the CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer. General information is given about SMF data and specific information is given about those SMF records used by the CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer.
This section contains the following topics:
6.2 Data Collector and Processing Considerations
6.3 CA MICS SMF Requirements and Considerations
