Activating MEMPLATE Processing

MEMPLATE is an optional feature. Use the following steps to activate MEMPLATE processing, and each time you want to add additional data sets to MEMPLATE.

Procedure

  1. Identify which files you want to place under MEMPLATE control.
  2. Stop the RT/SMF Dispatcher job or started task.
  3. Add the selected data sets to the USERMAC(MEMPLATE) member. For example: 
    /*==================================================*/
/* MEMPLATE                                         */
/*==================================================*/
USER.V4X0.SMFEXT.SYSP390.SMF$%%.T%%%%%%%
PROD.USER.D%%%%%%%
**.T%%%%%%%
AG.WORK4X0!.CNTL.
  4. Activate the MEMPLATE statement in the VFITABLS member in USERMAC.

    See Real-Time SMF Dispatcher. The statement should be as follows starting in column 1; the fields of the statement are defined in the VFITABLS member within the USERMAC library.

    ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4
MEMPLATE,PARMLIB,MEMPLATE,BRNVL005     OPT MEMPLATE
  5. Use the IBM Z Batch Resiliency-provided conversion routine in the CNTL(MEMPAPLY) member. This job copies your current INVENTRY data set to a MEMPLATE conversion data set and then converts to MEMPLATE entries per the definitions in the USERMAC(MEMPLATE) member.
  6. Review the new Inventory database output (conversion data set) from the MEMPAPLY job.
  7. When you are satisfied with the results, replace the production INVENTRY data set with the new Inventory file (the conversion data set from MEMPAPLY).
  8. Restart the RT/SMF Dispatcher job or started task.
