Software Requirements

The following software is required for CA SMF Director:

• IBM supported release of z/OS 1.9 or above
• SMP/E
• The CA Resource Initialization Manager (CAIRIM), one of the CA Common Services for z/OS.
• The target library, CASFLOAD, must be in the LINKLST.
• We recommend that CASFLOAD be APF-authorized. If you prefer not to authorize CASFLOAD, the following load modules must reside in an APF-authorized library:
  • SMFD
  • SMFDLS
  • SMFDLX1
  • SMFDLX2
  • SMFDLX3
  • SMFINIT
  • SMFIX110
• If the SMF Control Data Set (SCDS) is to be shared by two or more LPARs, all LPARs sharing the SCDS must either belong to the same Global Resource Serialization (GRS) ring or be connected to each other via CA MIM. If CA MIM is to be used, you must define a QNAME of CAIMSMF for CA SMF Director. For more information about QNAME definitions, see the CA MII Data Sharing for z/OS Programming Guide.
• If you are going to set up CA SMF Director to open CA Service Desk requests, the CA Common Services SOAP Client Service (CAISDI/soap) address space must be up and running. For more information about SOAP, see the CA Common Services for z/OS Service Desk Integration Guide.
