Defining and activating functions
In the SMFUNCxx member that is provided on the distribution tape, all functions are defined as inactive. To use MainView SRM, you must activate the functions that you want to use and define the resources on which the functions act. You can activate the functions all at once, or you can activate a single function at a time.
Before you begin
To use a function, you must first perform the following actions:
- Define a filter list (in an SMFLSTxx member), with MODE=ACTIVE, and with INCLUDE parameters to apply the function to a set of resources (data sets, volumes, pools, jobs, and so on). To define a filter list, see Using SMFLSTxx—filter list parameters.
- Define a rule list (in an SMRLSTxx member) that specifies how resources are affected. To define a rule list, see Using-SMRLSTxx-rule-list-parameters.
To define parameters for functions
- From the EZSRM Menu, select Functions.The ADFUNC view is displayed. ADFUNC lists the status and information for all functions that are defined in the system.
Use any of the following action codes in the CMD column next to a specific function name to further define the function:
