Take-up from SMF Files

Option 4 Take-up from SMF File from the Shared System Definitions Menu provides the facility to take-up system and file information from one SMF File.

Data Take-up from SMF File is a two-step process. First the system details are extracted from the file, then used to automatically update your Shared System Definitions. Successful completion of the first step generates a Recap report that provides information about all the systems contained on the SMF Files.

The batch command is:
    HDB(TAKEUP,                    analyze SMF file contents
       [SYSTEMS,]                    load systems
       [FILEIMAGE|FILESYSTEM,]       load files, connect to either image or system
       [OUTPUT(ddname)])             DDname for Recap report output
The following batch JCL illustrates how you can process multiple SMF Files. It runs the first step only to analyze the contents of the SMF files.
//CICSPA JOB ,CLASS=A,REGION=6M,MSGCLASS=T,MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//*                                             
//CICSPA EXEC PGM=CPAMAIN                       
//STEPLIB  DD DSN=CICSPA.V3R2M0.SCPALINK,DISP=SHR   
//CPAHDBRG DD DSN=CICSPA.HDB.REGISTER,DISP=SHR     
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                          
//* SMF FILES                                   
//SMFIN001 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CICPRO.SMF(-2)        
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CICPRO.SMF(-1)       
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CICPRO.SMF(0)        
//SYSIN DD *                                    
    CICSPA IN(SMFIN001),                        
       HDB(TAKEUP)                              
/*                                              

The following example shows part of the Recap report that is generated at the end of file processing. It shows the contents of the SMF files.

With this information you can elect to take-up Systems or Files or both, and specify whether to connect the Files to the System or the Image.

Note that the Recap report is showing what is available for take-up from the SMF files, it is not showing the results of take-up. Review the Shared System Definitions in the dialog to see the results of take-up.

If system definition take-up finds CICS® TS and TG systems with the same APPLID, it creates a single CICS system definition. System definitions taken up from SMF 111 records have a blank VRM field value (this field is for CICS TS versions, not CICS TG versions). To help distinguish CICS TS systems from CICS TG systems, definitions taken up from SMF 111 records have the description "CICS TG system added by Take-up".
