8.8.3 Create an MTI Component (MTICREAT)

MTI is specially designed to allow for the creation of
multiple components, rather than just one, each of which is
customized to the NSM input data.  In this way, the
installation can control how much data will be retained in
the CA MICS database.

The MTICREAT job requires that you:

o  Select a component name.  The component name must be three
   characters long, must start with 'U' or 'Z', and cannot be
   an already existing component name.

   The component name is specified by the SYSPARM= parameter.
   For example, the following statement creates an MTI
   component called 'U10':

       //MTICREAT EXEC MICSCOM,SYSPARM='U10'

   MTICREAT allows the option to specify a component step
   number explicitly.  If not specified, MTICREAT selects the
   next available step number.

   The step number is specified after the component name in
   the SYSPARM= parameter.  For example, the following is
   used to create an MTI component called U10 with a step
   number of 153:

       //MTICREAT EXEC MICSCOM,SYSPARM='U10 153'

o  Select and specify the input data set for the new
   component.

   This input data set is specified by the INPUTCSV DD in the
   MTICREAT step.  Note that MTICREAT does NOT support
   concatenated datasets.  The resource types in this data
   set will be converted by MTICREAT into CA MICS file
   definitions.

Once the component name and input data are specified, the
MTICREAT job scans the input data, creates
sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(cccGENIN) (where ccc is the
component name specified on the SYSPARM=), generates all code
to execute the component, and creates supporting jobs.

Section 8.5.2 contains the checklist which uses the MTICREAT
job to create new MTI components.
