SMDBASxx database data set list member

The SMDBASxx member contains a list of data sets that make up the space collector, HSM collector, and capacity planning databases.

This member is populated during MainView SRM customization. The HSMLOGDB, SPDB, and CAPDB views update the member with any manipulations that are performed with line commands.

Each line of the member can contain one data set definition. Lines cannot be continued. Each word on the line can be delineated with a comma, space, semicolon, or colon. Blank lines are ignored. Lines that begin with an asterisk are ignored. The first word of the line can begin in any column. Subsequent words can begin anywhere following the previous word and one delineator character.

Required words that define a data set to a database

Word number	Word	Description	Values
Word 1	Database Indicator	Specifies the database to which the data set belongs	SP indicates that the data set belongs to the space collector database. HM indicates that the data set belongs to the HSM collector database. CP indicates that the data set belongs to the capacity planning database.
Word 2	Data set name	Specifies the name of the data set to include in the database	The value must be a fully qualified data set name. The &SYS variable can be used anywhere in the data set name that is specified to contain the system ID. The characters &SYS are replaced at startup of the Reporting component with the 4-character system ID. The system ID in the fourth word of this definition still must be specified.
Word 3	Read/write indicator	Specifies the logging characteristics of the data set	RO causes the data set to be marked as read only, which means that the data set is not considered for logging, but is available for retrieval. RW causes the data set to be marked as read/write, which means that the data set is available for retrieval and logging. The information that is currently on this data set will be overwritten when it becomes the active data set. Q causes the data set to be marked as quiesced, which means the data set is not consider for either logging or retrieval use. The data set is not allocated to the SVOS address space, but remains in the SMDBAS member and continues to appear on this view.
Word 4	System ID	Specifies the 4-character system ID where the data sets should be used	The SVOS that is on the indicated system allocates and uses these data sets, which allows the SMDBASxx member to be shared across multiple systems.
