VCA INPUTVCA PARMS Member JCL Definition

The INPUTVCA member of prefix.MICS.PARMS contains the DD statements to specify the input data for the Space Analyzer.
rm
The //INPUTSMF DD and, (Optional) the //SMFDRCTR DD statements are used by the DAY090 step of the DAILY job.
The INPUTVCA member contains the input SMF data sets when ANY of the following JCLDEF options is used:
  • DAYSMF OFF is specified
  • SMFDRCTR/SMFDIRECTOR VCA is specified
  • DAYSMF EXCLUDE VCA is specified
A //INPUTSMF DD statement is required for each SMF data source.
A //SMFDRCTR DD statement is only required when
SMF Director
split indices are used.
A worksheet for preparing the INPUTVCA member is provided in the following INPUTVCA JCL Definition Worksheet.
If you change the contents of the INPUTVCA member, you must regenerate the DAILY job using either JCLGENU or JCLGEND in prefix.MICS.CNTL.
The INPUTVCA member can contain JCL definitions for non-SMF input such as data from independent sequential data sets or it can contain JCL definitions for SMF input if you do not specify 'SMFRECORDING VCA' in prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF). If 'SMFRECORDING VCA' is specified in JCLDEF, then it must be defined in the input JCL in the INPUTRDR member in prefix.MICS.PARMS.
Note:
If your site has
SMF Director
installed, you can use it to extract specific SMF record types and subtypes at SMF dump time. For more details on this product feature see
MICS
