Alternate Pool

The alternate pool is used when duplexing is specified. CA SMF Director keeps a second entry for this history file created on the SCDS for this pool. You can specify whether this product is to extract or print SMF records using the primary or the alternate copy of the history file containing the desired SMF records. Files created in the alternate pool can reside on magnetic tape or DASD.

Note: We recommend that you use duplexing to ensure that data is preserved in case something happens to the primary pool.
