Modifying the SYSx.MANx Dump Procedure CASFDUMP

CA SMF Director provides a JCL procedure that is automatically executed whenever the MAN files are switched under z/OS.

Procedure CASFDUMP uses this product to dump SMF MAN files. If you plan to use this SMF feature and want to change the started task name, do it now by editing member SMFIDTBL in the CASFSRC target library. Replace the CASFDUMP constant in the source code with the new task name. In a later step, this task starts the dumping of the appropriate MAN files.

Edit the sample JCL member SMFIDTBJ to conform to your installation standards, and submit the job.

If the automatic SMF dumping feature is active, the following steps must be performed in order for the change to the dump procedure name to take effect:

  1. Deactivate the automatic dump feature. This is accomplished by rerunning the CA Common Services for z/OS program CAIRIM with the control statement:
    PRODUCT(CA-SMF AUTODUMP) VERSION(SFC6) INIT(SMFINIT) PARM(DISABLE)
    
  2. If your CASFLOAD target library is in the link list, you must perform a Linklist Look Aside refresh. To do this, issue this command from the operator console:
    F LLA,REFRESH
    

    If your CASFLOAD target library is not in the system link list, the SMFIDTBL program that you assembled and linked must be copied to a data set in the system link list. Once the program is copied to a link list data set, perform a Linklist Look Aside refresh with the same command.

  3. Reactivate the automatic dump feature. Rerun the CA Common Services for z/OS procedure CAS9, which executes program CAIRIM, with the control statement:
    PRODUCT(CA-SMF AUTODUMP) VERSION(SFC6) INIT(SMFINIT) PARM(ENABLE,MX=name)
    

    where name is the name of your exit. For example, the name is SMFIDTBL if you have not renamed the sample exit.
