Take-up options

The take-up command is:
CICSPA  HDB(TAKEUP,                    analyze SMF file contents
       [SYSTEMS,]                    load systems
       [FILEIMAGE|FILESYSTEM,]       load files, connect to either image or system
       [OUTPUT(ddname)])             DDname for Recap report output
The take-up options are:
SYSTEMS
CICS®, DB2®, MQ, Logger systems with data on the SMF File are defined to shared System Definitions. Existing systems are not replaced.
FILESYSTEM
The SMF file is defined as a daily SMF file for each system that has data in the file.

The advantage of FILESYSTEM is that while the daily SMF file is defined to multiple systems, only SMF files that actually contain data for that system are defined to that system.

FILEIMAGE
The SMF file is defined as a daily SMF file for the MVS™ Image.

The advantage of FILEIMAGE is the daily SMF file is defined to a single definition only. Each system (with no SMF files defined) that belongs to this MVS Image use this SMF file.
