7.3.4 SRL Input DD Statements (INPUTSRL)


The input DD statement(s) to define the System Reliability
Analyzer's input file(s) must be supplied in the INPUTSRL
member of the prefix.MICS.PARMS library.  A worksheet for
coding this member is shown in Figure 7-4.

For example, if your LOGREC data was to be read from a data
set named SRL.DAILY.DATA using the ddname SRLSYS1 (ddnames
are defined in CA MICS.PARMS(SRLOPS)), you would change the
INPUTSRL member to contain the following:

    //SRLSYS1  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SRL.DAILY.DATA

The ddname used to read the LOGREC data into CA MICS is also
used to relate the SRL processing options with the data.
Every ddname specified here should also be specified on an
OPTIONS statement in SRLOPS.  The order in which the ddnames
are specified is not important.
 
    NOTE: Each system control program (SCP) writes data
          to its own LOGREC data set or data recording area.
          SRL cannot  read this data but instead uses the
          history file produced by processing the data
          through IBM's Environmental Record Editing and
          Printing Program (EREP). Even though SRL
          will allow the concatenation of input LOGREC
          data, we strongly recommend that you not
          combine the history files into a single data set
          as described in the EREP documentation because
          there is no SMF system identification available
          in the LOGREC data. Combining the data could,
          in some cases, make it impossible for CA MICS to
          assign a unique original SYSID to the data for
          each SCP.  If the data is already in a single
          file, it is impossible to split it apart for
          processing by CA MICS.
