7.3.3.2 INPUTVCA PARMS Member JCL Definition

The INPUTVCA member of prefix.MICS.PARMS contains the DD
statements to specify the input data for the Space Analyzer.
The //INPUTSMF DD and, optionally, the //SMFDRCTR DD
statements are used by the DAY090 step of the DAILY job.

The INPUTVCA member contains the input SMF data sets when ANY
of the following JCLDEF options is used:

  o DAYSMF OFF is specified

  o SMFDRCTR/SMFDIRECTOR VCA is specified

  o DAYSMF EXCLUDE VCA is specified


A //INPUTSMF DD statement is required for each SMF data
source.

A //SMFDRCTR DD statement is only required when CA SMF
Director split indices are used.

A worksheet for preparing the INPUTVCA member is provided
below in Figure 7-8b.

If you change the contents of the INPUTVCA member, you must
regenerate the DAILY job using either JCLGENU or
JCLGEND in prefix.MICS.CNTL.

The INPUTVCA member can contain JCL definitions for non-SMF
input such as data from independent sequential data sets or
it can contain JCL definitions for SMF input if you do not
specify 'SMFRECORDING VCA' in prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF).  If
'SMFRECORDING VCA' is specified in JCLDEF, then it must be
defined in the input JCL in the INPUTRDR member in
prefix.MICS.PARMS.

NOTE:  If your site has CA SMF Director installed, you can
use it to extract specific SMF record types and subtypes at
SMF dump time. For more details on this product feature see
section 6.1, CA MICS and CA SMF Director Interface of this
guide.
