7.3.3 JCL Option Definitions (JCLDEF)

There are a few required parameters and many optional ones,
which you specify in prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF) to guide the
JCLGEN process as it generates CLISTs and jobs tailored for
your processing environment.  This member contains one
statement for each option defined.

All CA MICS Network Analyzer Option input sources (NPM
Network, NPM Session, NetView Session Monitor/NLDM, NetView
Hardware Monitor/NPDA, CA NetMaster NTS, CA NetMaster NEWS,
CA NetSpy, and TCP/IP) are read from SMF history files.  If
any of these sources or the VM version of CA NetSpy or NPM is
used as input to the CA MICS Network Analyzer Option, the
SMFRECORDING statement in prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF) must be
updated during installation with the product identifier SNT.
JCLDEF is described in detail in the PIOM, Section
2.3.3.2.1.1.

The SMFRECORDING statement is used by the JCLGEN process to
build the DAILY job. If more than one CA MICS product that
takes input from SMF is specified on the COMPONENTS statement
(described in Section 2.3.3.2.1.1 in the PIOM), then a job
step named DAYSMF is generated as the first step of the DAILY
job.  DAYSMF splits the SMF input file (defined by
prefix.MICS.PARMS(INPUTSMF)) into multiple work files, one
for each CA MICS product that takes its input from SMF.  The
DDname of INPUTSMF is used to address the work file in DAILY
job steps for products that input such work files.

If there is only one CA MICS product using SMF input, JCLGEN
does not create a DAYSMF step to split apart the input SMF
File.  Rather, the SMF File defined in
prefix.MICS.PARMS(INPUTSMF) goes directly into the DAILY job
step for that one product (for example, into DAY056 for CA
MICS Network). The INPUTSMF ddname is defined in
prefix.MICS.PARMS to improve performance in this special
case.
