Copying selected SMF MAPS

By default, the system groups all SMF MAPS under the DVSQL schema. During server startup, the Data Virtualization Manager server loads all SMF MAPS into memory. This feature enables you to work with only the selected maps, thereby improving productivity and performance.

About this task

You can focus on the SMF MAPS that are relevant to your needs without having to navigate through the entire default schema.

Use the hlq.SAVZCNTL(AVZSMFCP) member to copy and load only the necessary SMF map members from the default schema into the SMF map data set.

In the job, specify the member name of each SMF map that corresponds to the required SMF record and subtype. For more information about member names and their corresponding SMF MAPS, see SMF record and member mapping.

Procedure

  1. Open hlq.SAVZCNTL(AVZSMFCP).
  2. Change the values for HLQ1 and HLQ2 in the job.
    • HLQ1 is the high-level qualifier of the SMPE library.
    • HLQ2 is the high-level qualifier of the AVZ installation SMF MAP data set.
  3. Provide the member names by using the SYSIN statement in the SMFCOPY step.

    Use the SYSIN statement as follows:

    //SMFCOPY EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
                            //SMFSMPE DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&HLQ1..SAVZSMAP
                            //SMFSMAP DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&HLQ2..SAVZSMAP
                            //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
                            //SYSIN DD *
                            COPYGROUP OUTDD=SMFSMAP,INDD=((SMFSMPE,R))
                            SELECT MEMBER=(MEMBER_NAME)
  4. Optionally, use a wildcard to select multiple members.

    You can use a single asterisk (*) as a wildcard to select multiple members. For example, AVZ$2* copies all members that start with AVZ$2, such as AVZ$201M and AVZ$202M.

  5. Submit the job.
