4.10.2 CA MICS Prerequisites


1.  The CA MICS DAILY or incremental update job must have a
SMFDRCTR data definition (DD) statement referring to the CA
SMF Director duplicate split index allocated with a
disposition of SHR.  It should NEVER be allocated with any
other disposition to avoid contention with CA SMF Director
itself.

This is the data set referenced in the data definition (DD)
statement identified in the INDEXDUP parameter of the SPLIT
statement contained in the CA SMF Director SMF DUMP job.

2.  If your installation's SMF dump split data sets are on
tape, CA MICS will dynamically allocate the tape data sets.
Therefore, you must ensure your installation does not
prohibit dynamic allocation of tape data sets or you will be
unable to use this feature.

3.  Field Developed Applications do not have an automated
interface to CA SMF Director at this time for identifying
eligible input.

However, the split data sets created by CA SMF Director can
still be input directly to a FDA and processed just like any
other SMF data.
