Step 2 - Add a Stream to a System in the SCDS

After the build completes, you are ready to add a logstream or substream to a system in the SCDS.

To add a stream to a system in the SCDS

  1. Click Hide at the bottom of the Build Configuration Task display.
  2. Proceed to the Configurations display.

    The configuration you just built is available with a status of Build Complete.

  3. Click Action at the far right of the line with the SCDS allocation configuration.
  4. Select Implement from the menu.

    The Configuration Implementation Wizard appears, showing one step that will allocate and initialize the SCDS.

  5. Click Release Next or Release All at the top to start the allocation.

    The SCDS allocation is run by CA MSM. If successful, the SCDS is set up to index and manage SMF data from the system named in the SYS-SMF ID field and the logstream or substream named in the ST-Stream Name field.

    The output from CA SMF Director is available on the system where CA MSM is running as an output generated from an auxiliary address space.

    Note: For more information about locating JES2 output from CA MSM processes, see the CA MSM documentation.
