Maintaining Personal SMF Files
The SMF Files view is the primary panel for maintaining your file definitions.
- From the System Definitions Menu, select option 2 Maintain SMF Files
- From the System Definitions list panel, enter the VIEW FILES command or select View->Files in the action bar
- Define a new data set using the line action I, or copy or repeat a data set along with its associated systems
- Use the line action S to update or view the systems that use a data set
- Delete a data set that is no longer required
- Use the FIND and SORT commands to locate entries in the list
- Use Filter->Set Filter in the action bar to display only files that match your specified criteria

This panel is used to maintain SMF data sets that you want to run your Report Sets against. Through the related Systems (and their Groups), CICS PA uses the specified SMF data sets in the generation of Report Set JCL.
- Use
- The File Use count. This indicates the number of Systems that use this File. The count ignores the Exclude indicator.
- SMF Data Set Name
- The name of an SMF data set containing data for
- Report Set processing:
- CMF performance class, exception class, and transaction resource class data (SMF 110 records)
- DB2® accounting data (SMF 101 records)
- WebSphere® MQ accounting data (SMF 116 records)
- System Logger data (SMF 88 records)
- OMEGAMON® XE for CICS® (SMF 112 records)
- Statistics reporting:
- CICS statistics and server statistics data (SMF 110 records)
- CICS Transaction Gateway statistics data (SMF 111 records)
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 represent a device type that is defined in the Eligible Device Table of the current processor as either TAPE or DASD. To select one from a list of possible Units, position the cursor on the UNIT field and press Prompt (F4).
UNIT can be specified without a VOLSER, in which case CICS PA will use the explicitly specified device type when generating JCL but will not include the UNIT parameter in the generated JCL. In this way the JCL generation process can be made aware of the device type of a data set that is yet to be cataloged, or is cataloged on another system. CICS PA uses the device type to determine tape unit affinity when generating JCL.
- 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.
CICS PA appends a + sign to the VOLSER to indicate that the data set spans multiple volumes.
To display the VOLSER List of up to 16 volumes, enter the V line action or place the cursor on the VOLSER field and press Prompt (F4).

Primary Commands
- SAVE
- This command saves
any changes you have made during this invocation of System Definitions.
Also available from File in the action bar.
- FIND string
- This command (or F) looks for the specified character string in all columns or a subset
of columns in the displayed data. The string need only be enclosed in quotes if there are embedded
spaces. The search is not case sensitive. The display scrolls to the row where the string is found
and positions the cursor on the matching data. To find more occurrences, use F5 or the
RFIND command repeatedly.
If there is no match but the search did not begin at the start of the list, the screen does not change and the message *Bottom of data reached* is displayed. Use F5 or RFIND to search from the top. If there is no match in the entire list, the screen does not change and the message No CHARS xxx found is displayed.
Also available from Edit in the action bar.
- SORT DSN
- This command sorts the list
of Files on data set name. The order is retained on exit.
Also available from Edit in the action bar.
- RESET
- This command (or RES) removes all outstanding line actions and deletes any blank rows.
Also available from Edit in the action bar.
- VIEW SYSTEMS|GROUPS
- This command takes you to the Systems or Groups view. Updates are saved when you change views.
Also available from View in the action bar.
- MENU
- This command takes you to the System Definitions Menu. Updates are saved.
Also available from View in the action bar.
