Processing Global Measurement Data Sets

The following panel displays when you choose option G1 on the Parameters Menu:

APCYPP02 --- PMA - Measurement DS Processing ----------------------------------
 COMMAND ===>                                                                   
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
 These parameters allow you to determine how the PMA jobs will process          
 CA MAT Measurement data sets. The definitions are valid for all PMA            
 Features. The PMA jobs will recognize the kind of measurement                  
 (Batch,CICS,IMS/DC) will store the data in PMA accordingly.

The parameters defined on this panel determine how the jobs process the CA MAT measurement data sets.

These global parameters are used by the Central Component, CICS Feature, and IMS Feature.

CA MAT monitor server name

Specifies the name of the CA MAT server.

Measurement data set name prefix

Lets you enter up to 26 characters to define the prefix of your CA MAT measurement data sets.

Measurement list ds name prefix

Lets you enter up to 26 characters to define the prefix of the data set that contains the CA MAT measurement reports.

Print measurements automatically

Indicates whether measurement reports should be automatically printed. The following values are valid inputs:

O

Indicates that measurement reports of all CA MAT measurements controlled by PMA are automatically printed when the alert state is first changed to OPEN.

A

Indicates that all measurement reports are printed.

N

Indicates that no measurement reports are printed. This option is the default.

Delete processed meas. ds

Indicates whether processed measurement data sets should be automatically deleted. The following values are valid input:

A

Indicates that all CA MAT measurement data sets are deleted automatically after successful processing.

C

Indicates that measurement data sets are deleted only if the alert state has been changed to CLOSED.

N

Indicates that measurement data sets are not deleted. However, the measurement data sets are not processed twice because the last processing date is stored in PMA. When N is entered, it is the user's responsibility to delete the data sets. The value of Aut. storage of meas. in PMA must also be N.

Aut. storage of meas. in PMA

Specifies that PMA can check every measurement data set having the high level qualifier defined above against the alert file to verify if the measurement was generated by PMA. If not, the history data is not saved.

Y

Saves historical information of measurements not generated by PMA. Please note that all job/job step combinations of measurement data sets having the defined high level qualifier are stored. If a measurement was not initiated by PMA, no alert entry exists but the measurement is processed.

N

Indicates that history data is not saved. Default value is N. If Delete processed meas. ds field = N, Aut. storage of meas. in PMA must also be N.
