5.2.6.3 Usage Considerations

This section identifies any special considerations or
techniques related to using the TSOTSA file.  Additionally, a
retrieval example is provided to help you use this file.


In the examples, a SAS macro variable is used to specify the
DDname part of the CA MICS file name. These macro variables
are a standard part of CA MICS and are available for all
files. The macro variable name has the form &diiit, where d
is the database identifier, iii is the information area
name, and t is the timespan.  For the examples, a database
identifier of P is used.  The identifier is installation
dependent, so you should find out what the identifiers are at
your installation.

    Special Considerations/Techniques

    1.  This file is similar to the TSOTSI file in that
        observations are generated upon execution of TSO
        commands.

    2.  The TSOTSA file is relevant in the DETAIL time-span
        only.

    3.  You must have coded DSNAMES=nnn option in the TSO/MON
        options member.  If not, the data will not be
        collected by TSO/MON and the TSOTSA cycles will be
        empty.

    Retrieval Example

    1.  Identify the TSO USERID(s) that deleted member
        SMFDUMP from SYS2.PROCLIB.

        DATA;
        SET &PTSOX..TSOTSA01;
        IF DSNAME='SYS2.PROCLIB' AND MEMBER='SMFDUMP' AND
           TSAMFUNC='D';
        PROC PRINT;VAR ENDTS USER;
