Creating the System Data Engine batch job for sending SMF data to the Data Streamer

To run the Z Common Data Provider System Data Engine in batch mode so that it streams its output to the data streamer, rather than writing it to a file, you must create the job for loading SMF data in batch. You can create this job by using the sample job HBOJBCO2 in the hlq.SHBOSAMP library, and updating the copy.

Procedure

To create the job, complete the following steps:

Copy the job HBOJBCO2 in the hlq.SHBOSAMP library to a user job library.
Update the job card according to your site standards.
If affinity with a specific TCP/IP stack is needed, add the name of the stack to the end of the HBOTCAFF job step like the following example:
```
//HBOTCAFF EXEC PGM=BPXTCAFF,PARM=TPNAME
```
To enable the zIIP offloading function to run eligible code on zIIPs, specify ZIIPOFFLOAD=YES in the PARM parameter in the EXEC statement.
Update the following STEPLIB DD statement to refer to the hlq.SHBOLOAD data set:
```
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=HBOvrm.LOAD
```
Update the port value for IBM_UPDATE_TARGET to specify the TCP/IP port that is configured for the Data Streamer.
Optional: If the Data Streamer is configured to bind to a specific IP address, set the IP address of the Data Streamer by specifying the following SET statement in the HBOIN DD statement. Because the Data Streamer and System Data Engine must be running on the same LPAR, the IP address must be a valid IP address on the LPAR where the System Data Engine runs.
```
SET IBM_DS_HOST=ip_address
```
The following example assumes the Data Streamer is configured to bind to the IP address of 9.30.243.157.
```
//HBOIN    DD *                                                  
SET IBM_DS_HOST = '9.30.243.157';
SET IBM_UPDATE_TARGET = 'PORT ppppp';                            
SET IBM_FILE_FORMAT = 'CSV';                                     
//         DD  PATH='/etc/cdpConfig/hboin.sde',                  
//         PATHDISP=(KEEP),RECFM=V,LRECL=255,FILEDATA=RECORD
```
Replace the value /etc/cdpConfig/hboin.sde with the file path and name of the policy file that you create in the Configuration Tool.
Update the HBOLOG DD statement to specify the log data sets.
