Control Data Set Migration

Migrate the CA SMF Director Control Data Set (SCDS) from your current release to the new release.

Business Value:

As new features are added to the product the SCDS format changes. When you install the new product release, migration of the SCDS occurs to provide access to the new features. The CA SMF Director SCDS cannot be shared with a previous release.

Additional Considerations:

Before you begin to migrate the SCDS to your new release, back up your existing SCDS.

CA SMF Director uses a control data set (SCDS), which is the central point for all of its processing. It contains all the configuration information and all the history file indexes with information on dumped SMF data.
