How You Add Source Systems to a Collection Set

To add a new source system to a collection set, specify the ID of that system on the SYSID parameter of your COLLECT command. Also provide the local destination of the collection set so that CA MIC knows which collection set to modify.

Suppose a collection set named MASTER is collecting messages from certain external systems to console MSTR. To begin collecting messages from system 01 (in addition to messages already being collected from other systems), issue the following command:

COLLECT CONSOLE=MSTR SETNAME=MASTER SYSID=01

Example:

To add a new source system to a collection set, name that system on a COLLECT command. The following example shows you how CA MIC adds another source system to an existing collection set:

1. Start with the following collection set:

   CONSOLE=MSTR SETNAME=SAMP13, 
   SYSID=01 MSGID=($HASP*,IEF*), 
   JOBNAME=TEST1 ANY
   

2. Issue the following command:

   COLLECT CONSOLE=MSTR,
   SETNAME=SAMP13 SYSID=02
   

   This results in the following new collection sets:

   CONSOLE=MSTR SETNAME=SAMP13,
   SYSID=(01,02) MSGID=($HASP*,IEF*), 
   JOBNAME=TEST1 ANY
   

CA MIC adds the value SYSID=02 to this collection set. As a result, CA MIC begins collecting the appropriate messages from system 02.
