Step 1 - Build Configurations for Additional Systems

Before adding more systems, their configurations must be built.

In addition to the global options you set to provide default values for all systems, other options can be used to set management criteria for this system only. (These options are listed on the DUMPOPTIONS control statement available outside of SCS.) Use this list to determine which options you want to set for this system:

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 on the values, see the DUMPOPTIONS control statement in the CA SMF Director User Guide.

To build a configuration for each additional 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.

11. Do the following on the Target Settings panel:
    • Click Use Configuration Values on the right of the Wizard to prepopulate the options if the new system has the same values as the first system.
    • Expand the Global Variables Tree.
    • Enter YES in the GL-Skip OPTIONS field since you have already set the global options for the SCDS.
    • Expand the System Variables Tree.
    • Enter the SMF ID of the system being added to the SCDS in the SYS-SMF ID field.

      Note: 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 only.

      Note: If you have prepopulated the global options in SCS or on the OPTIONS control statement, you only need to change the ones that are different for this system.

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.
