Customizing CA SMF Director

Before you customize CA SMF Director, you must plan the following:

• How often SMF data is unloaded from SYSx.MANx files or from SMF logstreams.
• Where the SMF data is kept (DASD or TAPE).
• How long the SMF data is kept.
• What the naming convention is for the SMF data.
• Whether a duplicate copy of the SMF data is to be maintained, and for how long (duplexing).
