Specifying the Extractor operating environment

You must specify the correct Extractor operating environment for the combination of BMC Software products that you have installed on your system.

In this section, you select a sample member containing the minimum set of Extractor control statements for the combination of products at your site.

The following BMC Software products use the Extractor:

  • MainView for z/OS
  • CMF MONITOR

Note

If you are customizing CMF MONITOR and will not be recording Extractor data to SMF data sets, you must also

  • allocate CPM output data sets
  • optionally, allocate IPM output data sets

Consult the CMF MONITOR documentation for additional information about CPM and IPM. (CPM and IPM data sets are not required for MainView for z/OS.)

Each product or combination of products requires specific Extractor control statements to collect the necessary data for product views, screens, and reports. Samples of the different Extractor control statement sets for each product combination are shipped in BBPARM.

To specify Extractor operating environment for your BMC Software product combination

  1. Create two members in hilevel.UBBPARM, with the names CMFCPM00 and CMFIPM00.
  2. In the following table, note the BBPARM member name in the row that contains plus symbols (+) for your combination of Extractor products.

  3. Copy the correct sample member from BBPARM to the CMFCPM00 member in hilevel.UBBPARM.

    If you are customizing
