How You Remove a Source System from a Collection Set

To remove a source system from a collection set, specify the DELETE parameter and the ID of the system on your COLLECT command. Also provide the destination and name of the collection set so that CA MIC knows which collection set you want.

Suppose a collection set named DEFAULT is collecting messages from several systems (including system S1) for console MSTR. To stop collecting messages from system S1, issue the following command:

COLLECT DELETE CONSOLE=MSTR SYSID=S1

The default value SETNAME=DEFAULT is omitted from this command.

Example:

To remove a source system from a collection set, specify the ID of the system and the DELETE parameter on a COLLECT command. The following example shows you how CA MIC removes a source system from a collection set:

1. Start with the following collection set:

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

2. Issue the following command:

   COLLECT DELETE CONSOLE=MSTR,
   SETNAME=SAMP13 SYSID=02
   

3. This results in the following new collection set:

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

Because you named a source system on the COLLECT command, CA MIC deletes only that information from the collection set. CA MIC deletes the value SYSID=02 from this collection set so that console MSTR no longer receives messages from system 02.
