Step

Description

1

Define general Central Component parameters.

2

Determine the scope of work for PMA and CA MAT by explicitly defining job and program inclusions/exclusions and TOP Scope.

3

Look for your site-specific SMF data sets that contain SMF 30 records in dumped format. These data sets should be input to job APCXJSMF and executed for at least one or two weeks.

4

Review the scheduling requirements for job APCXJSMF and integrate this job into your scheduling system.

5

Define all other central component parameters:

• Libraries (LOADLIB, JOBLIB, PROCLIB)
• Standard programs
• Standard procedures
• Global sample DS processing (for example, sample DS name prefix)

6

Look for your site-specific scheduler day plan and use the JP parameter in the parameter file.

7

Review the scheduling requirements for the batch jobs and plan how to integrate these jobs into your scheduling system.

8

Review measurement results by using the MEASUREMENT option. Note that measurement reports can be retained for up to 18 months.

9

Check for alert situations by using the online ALERT option. Review the alert state codes and reason codes and identify situations that require corrective action.

10

Use the job selection query facility to query the database for certain job steps or conditions.
