System Definitions

Use System Definitions to define: You can specify SMF data sets for each system (CICS, DB2, MQ, Logger) or for each MVS™ system (image) where they run. In addition you can define groups of systems for reporting purposes, such as those systems that connect via IRC/MRO, ISC/APPC, or IPIC.
Your System Definitions are then used in the following ways:

For reporting, you can use either Personal System Definitions or Shared System Definitions, or both. If you use both, you can specify the order of precedence if two definitions have the same name: Personal then Shared, or Shared then Personal. Set Systems in the action bar to the definitions that you want to use for reporting.

Personal Systems

Personal System Definitions are maintained using option 1 on the Systems Menu. They are saved in your Personal Profile Library (specified in option 0 CICS PA Profile Settings). Personal definitions are typically maintained and used by an individual for reporting.

The dialog provides a take-up facility to automatically define your personal systems from an SMF file.

Shared Systems

Shared System Definitions are maintained using option 2 on the Systems Menu. They are saved in the Repository. Shared definitions are typically maintained by a central administrator and used for reporting by all users of that repository.

The dialog provides a take-up facility to automatically define your shared systems from an SMF file or log stream. The dialog provides a second take-up facility to automatically load your personal definitions into the Shared System Definitions.
