6.1 Data Collector Considerations


Before installing the CA MICS Analyzer Option for CA IDMS,
the data collection considerations must be addressed. These
include identifying record types and ensuring the
availability of CA IDMS Performance Monitor data.

SMF records are directly generated by CA IDMS Performance
Monitor with a default of type 230.  You can control the SMF
record type that is generated by the monitor and the CA MICS
Analyzer Option for CA IDMS, to avoid conflict with other
vendor products that generate SMF records.  For information
on how to change the SMF record type created, see the CA IDMS
Performance Monitor documentation.

If you change the record type created by the monitor, you
must specify the new type for the CA MICS Analyzer Option for
CA IDMS.  Details about changing the record type are
described in this guide in Section 7.3.2.2, SMFTYPE
Statement.
