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).
