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.
