8.1 Installing the DEXSUS.COM Collection Routine


The DEXSUS.COM collection routine is delivered in library
sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE(DEXSUS).  To install this routine
you must copy the DEXSUS member from your MVS system to a
suitable directory on your VAX/VMS system.  The file should
be stored on VMS as DEXSUS.COM and is invoked by the command
@DEXSUS from VMS.

A sample routine to invoke DEXSUS as a VMS batch job is
provided with the VAX/VMS Analyzer as an example.  This file
is located in sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE(DEXSUSJ1), and can be
installed on VMS as DEXSUSJ1.COM.

The DEXSUS and DEXSUSJ1 routines are delivered as members of
the MICS.SOURCE library on your MVS system in EBCDIC format.
The operation to copy the DEXSUS and DEXSUSJ1 routines must
translate the files from EBCDIC to ASCII.

The DEXSUSJ1 routine illustrates the use of several options
for DEXSUS execution.  These options are set externally from
the DEXSUS routine, through VMS symbol assignments.  Chapter
6 of this guide describes the operation of DEXSUS and gives
examples of using DEXSUSJ1 to drive this routine as a batch
job.   Refer to section 6.1.1, "Data Collector Operations"
for more explanation on this topic.
