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.

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.

Note: For more information on each record subtype, see Sample Reports.

The record subtypes for CA MII are:

Record Subtype	Facility	Description
CR	ECMF	The CR record subtype is used to produce the CA MII Job Requeue (CR) report. This report provides a list of batch job requeue times as well as the names of the data sets causing the conflicts.
DC	EDIF	The DC record subtype is used to produce the CA MII Enhanced Data Set Integrity Benefits (DC) report. This report summarizes the data set integrity exposures prevented by EDIF.
DD	EDIF	The DD record subtype is used to produce the CA MII Enhanced Data Set Integrity Data Set Violation (DD) report. This report provides more specific information about integrity exposures detected and prevented by EDIF.
EC	GDIF	The EC record subtype is used to produce the following reports: CA MII QNAME Enqueue/Reserve Count (EC) report. This report provides detailed information about enqueues and reserves processed by GDIF.

To generate records for your CA MII facilities

Start the record collection process for each CA MIM facility for which you want to run a report by issuing the SETOPTION command. For example:
```
SETOPTION ECMF STATCOLLECT(SUBTYPE=CR)
```
This command tells CA MIM to collect statistics for the report subtype CR.
Specify the record collection sampling cycle and recording interval for ECMF.
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.
Set the sampling cycle time. Issue the following command:
```
SETOPTION STATCYCLE=nn
```
nn

Specifies how long CA MIM waits between each statistical data sampling. The initial value for the STATCYCLE operand is 60 seconds.
Specify the statistical record recording interval. Issue the following command:
```
SETOPTION STATINTERVAL=nnn
```
nnn

Indicates how long CA MIM waits until it records the collected data in the form of actual statistical records. The initial value for the STATINTERVAL operand is 15 minutes.

Example: Starting Record Collection

The following example shows how to begin the record collection process for the CA MII Job Requeue report. This example indicates data sampling every 30 seconds, and a statistical record recording interval of every hour:

SETOPTION ECMF STATCOLLECT(SUBTYPE=CR) STATCYCLE=30, STATINTERVAL=60

Note: The STATCYCLE and STATINTERVAL values apply to all record collection subtypes for a given CA MIM facility.

Once the statistical record collection process has begun, records are collected and written to the SMF data sets. You need to use your site‑specific procedures for dumping the records to physical sequential data sets that can be used by CA MIM to produce reports.
