Installing Your Product Using CA MSM › Installing Products › Create a CSI

Create a CSI

You can create a CSI while you are installing a product. During the process, you are asked to specify data set allocation parameters, which you can then customize for each data set.

To create a CSI

1. Click Create a New SMP/E CSI from the product installation wizard.

   You are prompted to define a CSI.

2. Specify a name for the environment represented by the CSI, and the following VSAM and data set allocation parameters. You can leave the other parameters at their defaults.
   • Specify the prefix for the name of the CSI VSAM data set.
   • Specify the prefix for the names of the SMP/E data sets.
   • Select whether to use SMS, and complete the appropriate fields.

   Note: An information text area can appear at the bottom of the wizard. The area provides information that helps you progress through the wizard. For example, if a field is highlighted (indicating an error), the information text area identifies the error.

3. Click Next.

   A list of the data sets to be created for the CSI appears.

4. Review the data set names. Click the Override Globals link to change allocation parameters, and then click Next.

   You are prompted to specify any additional parameters. A new CSI is specified.
