VARIABLE-SET—Enable and Disable Data Collection Metrics

The VARIABLE-SET statements can be directly coded in the xxxDATA parmlib members if desired.

The xxxVARS members are dynamically included into the corresponding xxxDATA parmlib member through an include statement such as:

)INCLUDE MVSVARS

To limit the data collection, enable or disable the collection metrics using the following CA SYSVIEW parmlib members:

MVSVARS

Defines the z/OS metrics.

MQSVARS

Defines the WebSphere MQ metrics.

IMSVARS

Defines the IMS metrics.

TCPVARS

Defines the TCP/IP metrics.

CICSSTAT

Defines the CICS metrics.

Note: The data collection tasks do not directly read the parmlib members MVSVARS, MQSVARS, IMSVARS and TCPVARS.

The VARIABLE-SET statement has the following syntax:

VARIABLE-SET  source:variable:action
source

Specifies the resources to enable or disable for collection.

Valid values are:

variable

Specifies the name of the data collection metric, which you can specify generically.

action
