SYSTEM DATA ENGINE properties: Defining your System Data Engine environment

In the Z Common Data Provider Configuration Tool, after you define a data stream for SMF data (which is gathered by the System Data Engine), use the SYSTEM DATA ENGINE button to set the configuration values for your System Data Engine environment.

Procedure

  1. In the Global Properties section of the Policy Profile Edit window, click SYSTEM DATA ENGINE.
  2. In the Configure System Data Engine properties window, update the following configuration values for your environment, and click OK.
    USER Concatenation
    This value is relevant only if you are using custom System Data Engine data streams. It is required as part of enabling the Configuration Tool to support custom System Data Engine data streams. For more information, Creating a System Data Engine data stream definition.

    The value must be the name of the USERDEFS data set that contains the custom System Data Engine definitions. This data set is also referenced in the concats.json file, which is in the working directory for the Z Common Data Provider Configuration Tool.

    CDP Concatenation
    This value must be the name of the SHBODEFS data set that is installed with Z Common Data Provider in your environment. This data set is also referenced in the concats.json file, which is in the working directory for the Z Common Data Provider Configuration Tool.
    Tip: The concats.json file is created in the Configuration Tool working directory when you save the first policy that you create. By default, any new policies that are created use the same concats.json file.
