3.1 Setting Up VCC for Operation

There are separate processes for both standard DASD space
collection and file systems space collection.  This was done
to provide greater flexibility.  For example, standard DASD
should be collected on a minimum daily basis, while file
systems collection may be performed for special studies only.

Once VCC is installed according to the detailed installation
checklist in Chapter 4, the following data sets should have
been allocated:

    o  The VCC control data set (described in the following
       sections as well as in Chapter 5).

    o  The VCC recording data set.  This data set should be
       created only if SMF is NOT the VCC recording medium.

The sections that follow describe how to:

    o  Allocate and build the runtime parameter data set
       that tailors VCC to suit your needs.

    o  Create the JCL stream that you will be using to run
       VCC.
