7.1.2.1 GENLIB OPTION Statement


A Generation Definition Statement member is provided in the
sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB library under the name VMCGENIN.
Review this file to check the OPTION statement definition for
VMC.  You can change the default definition to meet your
needs, as described below.

Note:  The VMCGENIN member contains uppercase and lowercase
characters.  The keywords for the OPTION statement should be
entered in uppercase.

OPTION statement keywords for VMC:

VMACT/NOVMACT   - Include CA VM:Account data elements
VMACH/NOVMACH   - Include CA VM:Account charge fields
ECPMF/NOECPMF   - Include 0/20 Monitor record fields

VMCGENIN OPTIONS - IMPACT ON THE DATABASE

The options in VMCGENIN are used to cause the inclusion of
elements in the database for the different levels of VM.
This is accomplished by using cluster codes.  Each element
defined in VMCGENIN has a cluster code associated with it.
These are:

                           OPTION
                      Code Keyword Description
                      ---- ------- --------------------------

                       00          Not system level dependent
                       19  VMACT   VM:Account fields
                       10  VMACH   VM:Account charge fields
                                   only
                       20  ECPMF   0/20 Monitor Record
                                   Channel Path Extended
                                   Measurements fields

Note:  When VM is upgraded from one level to the next, the
       records created by the Monitor are not reformatted.
       Instead they are extended to provide space for the new
       information.  This provides upward compatibility in
       the Monitor data.

       The same rule applies to VM/ESA and z/VM.  z/VM is a
       successor to VM/ESA.  OPTION ZVM3 will keep data
       elements for all z/VM releases; however, data elements
       added by the newer level of VM will not be found in
       the database until a VMCCGEN is run.  By running a
       VMCCGEN, the new VM level is added to the CA MICS
       complex.

Activating CA VM:Account Data Elements

These options are provided to activate CA VM:Account data
elements:

o VMACT/NOVMACT activates and deactivates CA VM:Account
  non-charge data elements.

o VMACH/NOVMACH activates and deactivates CA VM:Account
  charge data elements.

o ECPMF/NOECPMF activates and deactivates Channel Path
  Measurement data elements from the 0/20 monitor record.
For example, if the VMCGENIN OPTION specification is VMACT
NOVMACH, CA VM:Account data elements with cluster code 19
will be kept in the database and CA VM:Account data elements
with cluster code 10 will not be kept.
