Step 1 - Build the Configuration for the First System

Before adding the first system to the SCDS, you must build its configuration.

Since this is the first configuration, you must set up global options to provide default values for all systems that will be managed by CA SMF Director. (The global options are listed on the OPTIONS control statement outside of SCS.) Use this list to determine which options from the OPTIONS control statement you want to set now:

Note: For more information about the global options, see the OPTIONS control statement in the CA SMF Director User Guide.

Other options can be used to set management criteria for SMF data being managed by CA SMF Director for this system only. (The system options are listed on the DUMPOPTIONS control statement outside of SCS.) Use this list to see which options are available:

Note: The EXPDT, AEXPDT, RETPD, ARETPD, PREFIX, APREFIX, and COPIES options allow you to use an asterisk to default to the value on the OPTIONS control statement, but this is only valid if you create the system using the DUMPOPTIONS control statement outside of SCS.

Note: For more information about the system values, see the DUMPOPTIONS control statement in the CA SMF Director User Guide.

To build the configuration for the first system

1. Display the configurable deployments on the CA MSM Deployments page.
2. Select the CA SMF Director deployment that is being configured.
3. Click Actions.

   The Actions Menu is displayed.

4. Click Create Configuration.

   The Configuration Wizard opens. The first panel is displayed.

5. Name your configuration or generate a name.
6. (Optional) Describe the operation you are going to perform.
7. Select the system where you are going to build the configuration.
8. Click Next at the bottom.
9. Click Next to go past panel two.
10. Click Next to go past panel three.

    Panel four, Target Settings, is displayed. This is where all the configurations are specified for CA SMF Director.

11. Do the following on the Target Settings panel:
    • Expand the Global Variables tree.
    • Re-enter the data set name of the SCDS if you did not prepopulate the options.
    • Set the global options listed at the top of this topic.
    • Expand the System Variables Tree.
    • Enter the SMF ID of the system being added to the SCDS in the SYS-SMF ID field.

      Setting this value indicates to SCS that you are adding a system to the SCDS.

    • Assign a unique number to this system configuration in the SYS-Config Number field.

      Value: 1 to 255

      Note: SCDS checks for uniqueness, but you will not see an error for a duplicate number until the configuration is implemented.

    • (Optional) Assign a name to the system configuration in the SYS-Name field.
    • Set the DUMPOPTIONS values for this system. The DUMPOPTIONS are listed on the previous page.
12. Click Next at the bottom of the panel when all the options are filled in.

    Panel five is displayed.

13. Click Next to move on.

    Panel six displays the information about the configuration you have entered.

14. Click Build to build the configuration.
