The following table describes each MainView SRM definition member. MainView SRM reserves the first six characters of each member name; you specify the last two characters.
MainView SRM definition members
Member name | Global definition member? | Description |
|---|---|---|
SMMSYSxx | No |
|
SMCALSxx | Yes | Defines nonworking days (weekends, public holidays, company-specific holidays, and so on) to assist in DFSMShsm migration |
SMCRITxx | Yes | Enables you to identify a list of critical data sets in your environment that should never be placed on the same volume as any other data set in the list |
SMDBASxx | Yes | 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 performed with line commands. |
SMDIAGxx | Yes | Specifies various diagnostic options such as tracing of filter and rule list processing or other debugging options that BMC Customer Support might request |
SMEVNTxx | Yes | Defines how storage event notices are managed in the automation component Event member parameters include mode, destination, severity, and so on. |
SMFLSTxx | No | Selects the resources on which a MainView SRM function operates Resources can be selected by data set name, volume name, unit name, data set type, job name, account number, or various other characteristics. For example, all data sets with names that begin with GL225 or all jobs with a name that ends with TST may be selected. A powerful name-masking facility allows flexibility in identifying the resources to select. |
SMFUNCxx | Yes | Activates MainView SRM functions and controls message and tracing activity MainView SRM space management services are divided into functions. Functions provide all runtime services of MainView SRM. SMFUNCxx points to members SMFLSTxx and SMRLSTxx, which select resources and control the operation of the functions. With the exception of the USERVARS function, functions and their filter lists and rule lists are specific to individual components. |
SMPOOLxx | Yes | Defines pools of DASD volumes and pools of tape devices |
SMPOLIxx | No | Defines pool policy definitions |
SMRLSTxx | No | Defines rules that control the action of the MainView SRM function on the selected resources Rule parameters enable you to modify properties such as block size, pool name, and data class. They also enable you to further identify affected resources based on data set name, volume name, job name, data set size, and so on. |
SMSCHDxx | No | Defines scheduled tasks |
SMSPOLxx | Yes | Defines subpools of SMS-managed DASD volumes SMS subpools are used only by the Allocation component. |
SMVARSxx | Yes | Defines MainView SRM variables and assigns values to those variables MainView SRM variables can be substituted for MainView SRM parameter values. |
