Step 4: (Optional) Define a Log Stream in Event Capture Option (INST0043)

This step is required only if you are running the CA SYSVIEW Event Capture Option.

Define a log stream that contains the SMF records that the SMFDATA task collected. SMF data collection is a component of the CA SYSVIEW Event Capture Option.

Note: For more information about the SMF Event Capture setup, see the chapter "Starting the Subtasks" in the Administration Guide.

A unique log stream must be created on each system.

Note: The parmlib members for specifying log stream names are located in the sysview.CNM4BPRM data set.

Follow these steps:

1. Specify the log stream as shown in the Define a DASD‑Only Log Stream example that follows this procedure.
2. Specify the name of the defined log stream in the following parmlib members:

   SMFDATA

   LOGSTREAM-SMFDATA-NAME    logstream.name
   

   If the SMF logging function is not going to be used or the log stream has not been defined, set the following options:

   LOGSTREAM-SMFDATA-NAME    NONE
   

   In addition, do not start the SMFDATA task in the SYSVIEW parmlib member.

   LGLOOKUP

   Sysname  Logname...... LogStream-Name
   sysname  SMFDATA       logstream.name
   

3. Submit the INST0043 job.

   The log stream for the Event Capture Option is defined, and the collected data can be viewed online.

Example: Define a DASD-Only Log Stream

This example shows a DASD-only log stream:
