Adding a dataset attribute group

Use this dialog box to add a dataset attribute group.

Use the following procedure to add a dataset attribute group:
  1. In the navigator, click Dataset Attributes System Summary.
  2. Right-click on the Dataset Attributes System Summary node, click Workspace, and then click Dataset Attributes Group Summary from the context menu.
  3. Right-click a row in the Dataset Attributes Group Summary table, and then click Add Group.
  4. In the Add User Dataset Group dialog box, use the Group tab to specify the name and description of your group. Use the Properties tab to constrain your group to specific datasets, volumes, SMS classes and other properties. Use the Attributes tab to constrain your group based on specific attributes such as Percent Used and Reference Date.
  5. When you finish configuring the dataset attribute group, click OK to add it.
Group tab
Use this tab to specify your dataset attribute group name and description.
Name
Enter a name for the dataset attribute group that you are creating. Names may consist of any combination of characters and must not exceed 30 characters in length. Names are case sensitive.
Description
Enter an optional description for the dataset attribute group. Descriptions may consist of any combination of characters and must not exceed 50 characters in length.
Persist
Click this check box to indicate that the dataset attribute group should persist (or be saved) across recycles of the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (monitoring server or TEMS). Dataset attribute groups are discarded during a recycle of the monitoring server if Persist is not selected.
Disable Collection
Click this check box to indicate that the dataset attribute group collection should be disabled for the current group. Dataset attribute group collection will be skipped for those groups with Disable Collection selected.
Paste from clipboard
Click this button and paste copied group definition in a special format to fill the group's fields automatically.
Properties tab
Use this tab to specify properties for your dataset attribute group. Datasets that match any of the properties that you specify will be included in your group, unless further constrained by criteria in the Attributes tab.
Group Properties
Enter one or more dataset name, catalog name, and associated name to include those datasets in your dataset attribute group. Dataset names support the masking rules described in Dataset name masking rules.
SMS
Enter one or more SMS data class, storage class, management class, or storage group to include datasets belonging to those classes or groups in your dataset attribute group.
Owner
Enter one or more owner to include VSAM datasets with those owners in your dataset attribute group.
Volser
Enter one or more volume names to include datasets on those volumes in the dataset attribute group. You can specify a partial name pattern and place the wildcard character (*) at the end. For example, a mask of PRI* will include datasets in your dataset attribute group that are on all volumes whose names begin with "PRI".
Attributes tab
Use this tab to specify attribute constraints for your dataset attribute group. Datasets that match any of the properties and all of the attributes that you specify will be included in your group.
Use the drop-down list in the Attribute column to select an attribute name. Use the drop-down list in the Operator column to select an operator. Use either the drop-down list in the Value column to select an enumerated value or enter a value in the field.
