Back up the SCDS on a regular basis by specifying PARM=BACKUP when you execute the SMFD program.
Business Value:
Ensures the integrity of the SCDS, which is critical to the operation of CA SMF Director. For example, when data becomes physically damaged, you can easily have it restored.
Additional Considerations:
You can view the SCDS contents using the ISPF-based GUI, or the LISTC and LISTH control statements.
If the SCDS gets corrupted for any reason, do a backup and restore on the current SCDS. If this does not fix the problem (for example, because of physically damaged data), restore from an older SCDS backup.
If your SCDS is getting full or is full, back up your current SCDS, create a larger SCDS, and restore the backed up SCDS to the new one.
