CICS PA can automatically populate your System Definitions with details extracted from SMF Files. This panel allows you to specify details of an SMF File for data take-up.

Specify the data set name and if not cataloged, the unit, sequence number, and up to 16 volume serial numbers.

A batch job is generated to extract the take-up details from the SMF data set. You can choose to submit the job immediately or first edit the JCL. See Take-Up JCL.

The options are:
Data Set Name
The name of an SMF data set from which you want CICS PA to extract System details for automatic take-up into your System Definitions.

Normal ISPF data set conventions apply. Fully qualified data set names must be enclosed in quotes, except if PROFILE NOPREFIX is set.

If the data set is not cataloged, then specify UNIT, SEQ, or VOLSER

UNIT
The generic or esoteric device type of the data set, such as 3390, SYSDA, or CART. This must be a device type that is defined as either TAPE or DASD in the Eligible Device Table of the current processor. To select one from a list of possible Units, position the cursor on the UNIT field and press Prompt (F4).
SEQ
The File Sequence Number is only required for uncataloged tape data sets. It identifies the relative position of the data set on a tape volume. Omit, or code 0 or 1 to indicate the first data set on the tape volume.
VOLSER
The volume serial number of the data set. It is only required for uncataloged data sets. If a VOLSER is specified, then a UNIT must also be specified.

If the data set spans multiple volumes, only the first one is displayed on this panel. To specify up to 16 volumes, position the cursor on the VOLSER field and press Prompt (F4) to display the VOLSER List.

Execution Mode
Specify 1 to submit the batch job immediately.

Specify 2 to edit the JCL. From the edit panel, then enter the SUBMIT (or SUB) command to run the job.

Check the results of the batch job. See Job output.

When you next invoke System Definitions, you are prompted to update your System Definitions with the results of the batch job. See Applying Take-Up details.
