Analyzer Definition Statements - VTSGENIN

Each
MICS
component's generation statements are defined as cccGENIN, where ccc is the three-character component identifier. The VTS Component generation definition member is VTSGENIN.

Although each component is delivered with default statements, you are allowed to customize these statements that are based on your needs at your particular site. In order to activate your new definitions, submit sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(VTSCGEN) to complete the updates.
For more information about the cccGENIN member statements described here, see

Facilities.

INPUTSOURCE Statement

The INPUTSOURCE statement lists the data source (SMF) and record types that are supported by the VTS component. In the event that the unit processing virtual tape data contains a DAYSMF step, the SMF record types that are listed after the INPUTSOURCE statement are used by DAYSMF to subset a raw data file for the VTS component daily update step.
The default statement that is delivered with this component is:
INPUTSOURCE SMF 94 255
SMF indicates that the data source is SMF data. The SMF record types that are used by the component follow:
  • SMF record type 94 is used by the IBM Virtual Tape System (VTS). If IBM VTS virtual tape system data is not to be processed, remove 94 from the INPUTSOURCE SMF statement.
  • SMF record type 255 is the default SMF record type that is used by the Sun StorageTek Virtual Storage Manager (VSM). Although 255 is the default record type, it can be changed to any number from 128 through 255 inclusive. If the StorageTek VSM system generates a record type other than 255, update the INPUTSOURCE statement accordingly.
If StorageTek virtual tape systems data is not targeted for processing, remove 255 from the INPUTSOURCE SMF statement.
Example for IBM VTS:
INPUTSOURCE SMF 94
Example for StorageTek VSM:
INPUTSOURCE SMF 255 (or other record type that is produced by STK)
If no SMF input data is to be read by a VTS component, omit the INPUTSOURCE statement or specify this statement as follows:
INPUTSOURCE NONSMF
When changing the record types specified on the INPUTSOURCE statement, submit the following jobs in the order presented. Ensure each job completes successfully.
sharedprefix.mics.CNTL(VTSCGEN) prefix.mics.CNTL(JCLGENx) <= any JCLGEN job in the unit where VTS is installed prefix.mics.CNTL(VTSPGEN)

OPTION Statement

The OPTION statement is used to indicate global file tailoring preferences. For the VTS component, the OPTION statement indicates the specific types of virtual tape data to be processed in the
MICS Complex
. Check the default definition and change it as needed.
Note:
The VTSGENIN member contains uppercase and lowercase characters. Enter the keywords for the OPTION statement in uppercase.
The default statement is:
OPTION IBMVTS STK HYDRA
Valid keywords are:
IBMVTS/NOIBMVTS
- IBM Virtual Tape System (VTS)
STK/NOSTK
- Sun StorageTek Virtual Storage Manager (VSM)
HYDRA/NOHYDRA
- IBM TS7700 Series Virtual Tape Servers
Specify at least one keyword. If two or more keywords are specified, they can be in any order, separated by one or more blanks.
Keyword description
IBMVTS/NOIBMVTS
The IBMVTS keyword activates the IVT Information Area files. This information area contains all files relating to IBM VTS virtual tape systems.
To process IBM VTS data, code IBMVTS. Otherwise, code NOIBMVTS to deactivate the IVT information area files.
STK/NOSTK
The STK keyword activates the files in the SVT information area. This information area contains all files relating to StorageTek VSM virtual tape systems.
To process StorageTek VSM data, code STK. Otherwise, code NOSTK to deactivate the SVT information area files.
HYDRA/NOHYDRA
The HYDRA keyword activates the HVT Information Area files. This information area contains all files relating to IBM TS7700 series virtual tape servers.
To process IBM TS7700 data, code HYDRA. Otherwise, code NOHYDRA to deactivate the HVT information area files.
Example for IBM VTS:
OPTION IBMVTS NOSTK
Example for StorageTek VSM:
OPTION NOIBMVTS STK
Example for IBM TS7700 virtual tape servers:
OPTION NOIBMVTS NOSTK HYDRA
