Parmlib Members › Event Capture Members › CAPTURE

CAPTURE

The CAPTURE parmlib member is used to set the default configuration options of the CA SYSVIEW Event Capture option. The CA SYSVIEW Event Capture option provides a set of tools that enables the capturing of critical data. This data lets you diagnose current or potential problems on your system. Any data that is viewable through a CA SYSVIEW command display can be captured for later redisplay.

The CAPTURE parmlib member allows you to specify the following:

• A capture data set naming convention
• Default data retention time
• Default data set allocation parameters

Individual capture events are specified in CAPLIB members found in the sysview.CNM4BCAP data set. Each Capture library (CAPLIB) member can override the default allocation parameters.
