After upgrading to Interim Feature 2, you can make your user DASD
groups dynamic. Instead of using the Configuration Tool to define
a group, you can specify dynamic user DASD groups within the Tivoli
Enterprise Portal.
Groups defined prior to Interim Feature 2 using the Configuration
Tool are stored in RKANPARU member KDFDUDGI. A migration function
in Interim Feature 2 allows you to create new dynamic user DASD groups
from the definitions in KDFDUDGI. After migrating the KDFDUDGI, you
can manage those groups dynamically using the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
To navigate to the migration function, select the User DASD
Groups Performance workspace from the navigation tree, right-click
a row on the table view, and select the Migrate Groups menu
item. Confirm the migration in the Confirm User DASD Group Migration
dialog box.
The migration process:
- Locates and reads the KDFDUDGI member of the RKANPAR dataset of
the z/OS based Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (monitoring server).
- Parses each individual group definition defined in the KDFDUDGI
member.
- Re-creates each individually read and parsed group definition
as a persisted dynamic user DASD group definition.
Note: - Previously migrated or identically named user DASD groups are
not updated or affected by the migration function.
- Group definitions from KDFDUDGI are always created with the persist
flag enabled.
- KDFDUDGI group definitions with invalid syntax are not migrated.
- KDFDUDGI member is not altered in any way by the migration function.
- User DASD group descriptions from Configuration Tool
are not included in KDFDUDGI member and therefore are not migrated.
- Migration error messages are logged to the RKLVLOG of the z/OS-based
monitoring server.
