Sample Command for Record Collection

The following example shows how to begin the SMF record collection process for the CA MIM Control File Performance report. This example indicates data sampling every 30 seconds, and a statistical record recording interval of every hour:

SETOPTION MIM STATCOLLECT(SUBTYPE=CF) STATCYCLE=30, STATINTERVAL=60
STATCYCLE

Specifies the sampling cycle time, in seconds, which CA MIM waits between each statistical data sampling. The default value is 60.

STATINTERVAL

Specifies how often, in minutes, statistical data samples are recorded to SMF data sets. The default value is 15.

Note: The STATCYCLE and STATINTERVAL values apply to all record collection subtypes for a given CA MIM facility (GDIF, and so on).

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.
