Data Flow of the AME

The OPAME010 program scans data streams for SMF records. It then summarizes the data and prints it in an Automation Statistics Report.

The following diagram shows the flow of the data that CA OPS/MVS collects:

Here is a description of some of the important items shown in the previous diagram:

• CA OPS/MVS

  Your copy of CA OPS/MVS.

• SMF data

  The SMF data sets or System Logger logstream of the operating system, which are the possible destination for the SMF records that CA OPS/MVS collects. The destination is dependent on your system settings.

• IFASMFDP or IFASMFDL
  • IFASMFDP for SMF dump data sets

    If you choose to send SMF records to the data set of the operating system, IFASMFDP is the IBM utility used to extract the exact data you want. For a sample of the JCL, see OPS.OPS.CCLXCNTL(OPAMESMF).

  • IFASMFDL for MVS System Logger logstream

    If you choose to send SMF records to the MVS System Logger, IFASMFDL is the IBM utility used to extract the exact data you want. For a sample of the JCL, see OPS.CCLXCNTL (OPAMESML).

• OPAME010

  The program that summarizes the data and produces an Automation Statistics Report. It will accept the data that IFASMFDP extracted from the SMF data set of the operating system or the data that IFASMFDL extracted from the logstream.

• OPAME000

  The record map for SMF records. This is provided in OPS.CCLXCNTL(OPAME000).

• PARMDD

  A JCL subparameter that indicates the ddname from which OPAME010 reads additional subparameters. See OPS.CCLXCNTL(OPAMERPT).
