Specify Record Collection Criteria

To collect statistical records for CA MIM reports, you need to specify the type of statistical records to be collected by issuing the command SETOPTION STATCOLLECT with the specific CA MIM facility (EDIF, GDIF, TPCF, and so on).

Specify the SUBTYPE operand on the SETOPTION STATCOLLECT command to select specific record subtypes for a facility, or specify ALL to collect records for all record subtypes available under that facility. These record subtypes correspond directly to the reports available for each facility. A brief description of the report follows each record subtype.

The record subtype for CA MIC is CN for GCMF. The CA MIC Command Audit report provides an audit trail of cross‑system commands issued through GCMF.

The record collection process must be started for each individual CA MIM facility for which you want to run a report. This section shows how to begin the record collection process using the SETOPTION command.

For example, to create the CA MIC Command Audit report, you specify the following SETOPTION command:

SETOPTION GCMF STATCOLLECT(SUBTYPE=CN)

This command tells CA MIM to collect statistics for the report subtype CN. Next, you must specify the record collection sampling cycle and recording interval for GCMF.

Important! To activate the record collection process for all record subtypes, you must repeat this procedure for each subtype, specifying the SETOPTION STATCOLLECT command and the facility associated with that record subtype.
