8.8.2 Load the MTI Dictionary (DICLOAD/cccLOAD)


In order for MTI components to process NSM Systems
Performance data, it is necessary to load the MTI Dictionary
with the resources and resource subtypes in the input data.
The MTI Dictionary load process is used to scan the input
data, and update the MTI Dictionary with this information.

The INPUTCSV DD is used to specify the input data sets for
the dictionary load process.

The INPUTMTX DD (optional) is used to specify the input data
set to be used to load the shipped Standardized Metrics
Update File (SMUF).  The data used here is delivered with the
CA MICS product and is in CSV/HFS format .  The resource
information in these files are related to certain types of
machines and will aid in more accurate mapping of resource
and resource subtypes.  If the INPUTMTX DD is not specified,
the INPUTCSV DD data set is the only one that will be used to
load resource and resource subtypes.  To update and "overlay"
existing entries in the dictionary with the more accurate
metrics information found in the SMUF file, the INPUTMTX DD
will need to point to the shipped file and "OVERLAY" will
need to be specified on the MTISYSIN DD.

         ie.   //MTISYSIN DD *
                %DICLOAD(LOAD,OVERLAY=YES)

The cccDLOAD is a component specific version of DICLOAD using
the INPUTCSV definition from
sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(cccINPUT) created during the MTI
component creation job (MTICREAT).  If changes are made to
cccINPUT, then cccDLOAD and cccDSCAN should be regenerated
using JCLGEN0 or JCLGENUC.

MTI also generates the DICSCAN and cccDSCAN jobs.  These jobs
perform the same functions as DICLOAD/cccDLOAD but do not
update the MTI Dictionary.

Section 8.5.3 contains the checklist which uses cccDLOAD (and
cccDSCAN) to update existing MTI components with resources
and resource subtypes when the input data set has changed.
Section 8.5.4 contains the checklist which uses DICLOAD (and
DICSCAN) recover the existing MTI Dictionary in the event
that it is lost or damaged.
