Customizing CA SMF Director › Setting up the Files

Setting up the Files

Configuration information is stored on a direct access data set known as the SCDS file (CA SMF Director Control Data Set). This is also the repository for the inventory of SMF data as well as the optional pool of magnetic tape volumes to be used by this product. For further details on how to define a configuration, see Customization Considerations in Chapter 1 of the Systems Programmer Guide.

This product can be configured to manage the SMF data within one or two history file pools. They are the primary and alternate pools.
