4.10.1 CA SMF Director Prerequisites

 o CA SMF Director must be managing your data center's SMF
   dump processing.
 
 o The CA SMF Director dump process must be executed with the
   SPLIT statements as well as the INDEXDSN and INDEXDUP
   parameters identifying the primary and duplicate split
   indices respectively.
 
 o All the split data sets created must be cataloged data
   sets.
 
 o The CA SMF Director INDEXLIM parameter must be defined
   to set a limit on the number of entries retained in the
   index.  This number should coincide with the CA MICS
   SMFDJHLLIMIT value defined in prefix.MICS.PARMS member
   EXECDEF.  See section 2.3.5 for more information on the
   SMFDJHLLIMIT parameter and its affect on CA MICS input
   processing.
 
 For information on the SMF record types processed by each CA
 MICS product, see the "Data Sources" section of the related
 component guide or the sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(cccSMFD)
 member for each CA MICS installed component.
 
 Note: To get the most benefit from CA SMF Director and CA
 MICS integration, SMF records processed by different
 components should be recorded to separate CA SMF Director
 duplicate split indices.  For example, if SMF and CICS reside
 in the same unit, each split statement within the CA SMF
 Director dump job should refer to a unique CA SMF Director
 duplicate split index for recording the SMF split data sets.
 This allows CA MICS to only process the data required by each
 component step.  Otherwise, DAYSMF would still be needed to
 further split the records to avoid each component step from
 reading unnecessary SMF data sets.
 
 Below are 2 sample CA SMF Director split statements that
 demonstrate the use of a discrete duplicate split index for
 SMF records processed by different components.
 
 SPLIT ALL SELECT(70:79) TODD(RMF)
    INDEXDSN(hlq.RMF.SMFDINDX)
    TIME(0000) TIMEGDG(hlq.RMFONLY) TIMEUNIT(3390)
    TIMEVOL(SMFD01) TIMESPACE(CYL,500,200)
    INDEXDUP(INDEXRMF).
 
 
 SPLIT ALL SELECT(110) TODD(CICS)
    INDEXDSN(hlq.CIC.SMFDINDX)
    TIME(0000) TIMEGDG(hlq.CIC110) TIMEUNIT(VTAPE)
    INDEXDUP(INDEXCIC).
 
 Note: The INDEXDUP keyword is included on each SPLIT
 statement and each refers to a unique DD statement that, in
 turn, describes a unique duplicate split index data set.
 This enables each CA MICS component step to input the
 duplicate split index into the corresponding component step
 without processing unneeded record types.
 
 If, in the above example, each split data set index entry was
 recorded to the same duplicate split index, the duplicate
 split index should be defined to DAYSMF.  Otherwise, each
 component step would read ALL the eligible input files
 defined in the duplicate split index, which would result in
 unnecessary processing.  The best practice would be to
 separate the duplicate split index entries by component to
 maximize the benefit of CA SMF Director.
