Step 3. Allocate the Control Data Set (SCDS)

Note: You may also use the SCS component of CA MSM to configure the SCDS. If you want to do that, skip this step.

If this is the first time CA SMF Director is installed, use JCL member CASFJCL(CASFNCDS) to allocate the control data set. See Chapter 2 of the User Guide on how to define a system configuration.

If you are upgrading from a previous release of CA SMF Director, use member CASFJCL(CASFSCNV) to back up the existing SCDS file, allocate a SCDS for the new release, and restore it using the backup file. This process converts the old SCDS records to the format used by the new release.

After editing the supplied JCL and adjusting the space value for the SCDS data set, submit the job.
