Step 1 - Build the Configuration for a Stream

Before adding a logstream or substream to a system in the SCDS, its configuration must be built.

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

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 or DUMPOPTIONS control statement, but this is only valid if you create the stream using the STREAMOPTIONS control statement outside of SCS.

Note: For more information on the options, see the STREAMOPTIONS 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 and select the configuration that added the system to which you are adding the stream.

      This prepopulates the options needed to configure the system for the stream.

    • 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.
    • Expand the Stream Variables Tree under the System Variables Tree.
    • Enter the name of the stream in the ST-Stream Name field.
      • If you are defining an SMF logstream, enter the name of the logstream as coded in the active SMFPRMxx member in PARMLIB.
      • If you are defining a substream, the name can be any two or three node name, but the first node cannot begin with an “I” or the string “SYS.”

        Note: This cannot be edited when defined in SCS.

    • Indicate in the ST-Stream Type field if the stream is an SMF logstream or a CA SMF Director substream.
    • For a substream, select either the ST-Select or ST-Exclude field and insert the record types you want the substream to archive (Select) or not archive (Exclude). Set only one of the options and leave the other empty.

      Note: For more information about the syntax for specifying record types, see the description of the SELECT and EXCLUDE options on the STREAMOPTIONS statement in the CA SMF Director User Guide.

      For a logstream, skip this step.

    • Set the STREAMOPTIONS values for this logstream or substream only.

      Note: We recommend that you only change the values that are overrides for the values set for the 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.
