Task 2: Build a Dictionary for Enform
where Componentname can be one of:
TPDC TPSFL TPLM TPLD TPDP
and where options represents any of the options available from the component.
You can also move the component object files to $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.*. This approach
lets you execute the components by only having to specify the component name (such
as TPDC). TPDC, TPFL, TPSFL, and TPDP need to reside in the same volume and
subvolume. If you move the object files, resecure them by repeating Step 4.
Task 2: Build a Dictionary for Enform
To use Enform with the TPDC, SPAM, and Measure entities for your own queries (in
addition to the ones we provide), you need to build a dictionary:
1. Volume to the subvolume of your TPDC component files.
2. Build the dictionary by entering:
DDL/IN TPDCDDLS,OUT $S.#TPDC/DICT !
DDL/IN SPAMDDLS,OUT $S.#SPAM/DICT
DDL/IN $SYSTEM.SYSnn.MEASDDLS,OUT $S.#MEAS/DICT
These steps create a set of dictionary files that include descriptions of the TPDC,
SPAM, and Measure entities. If you will not use Enform, you do not need to perform
this task.
Task 3: Set Up SPAM
The SPAM component of the TPDC product produces a variety of useful performance
reports generated using Enform on the data collected by TPDC. The TPDC distribution
subvolume includes:
•
Additional DDL definitions for custom data files, CUSTDDLS.
•
Customizable sections of some Enform source queries, which you can edit to meet
your needs before you use the package on Measure data from any specific
installation:
See Appendix C, Enform Query Source File (QPGROUPS)
•
Precompiled Enform queries. Many of these queries produce a page of descriptive
notes whenever you run them.
