Is it a necessity to migrate data from one ENF MUF to another? If so, is there a process.?
Release: Common Services-for z/OS
Component: CAIENF
No, there is no need to copy data, therefore, there is no process to do so. The data within the ENF database is only needed for recovery purposes. The product (recording data to the database) gets the event data prior to it being written to the ENF database. The ENF MUF is specific to the ENF component and there is no need for a a backup.
The CAIENF CONTROL OPTIONS needed to record event records are:
ACT - Enables an INACTIVE event.
REC - Requests that data from this event is recorded on the database.
RP=nn - Number of days the event is retained on the database. This keyword can be used to override the DETAIL setting for a particular event. The value can be from 1 to 99.
PURGE=Y - sets recorded events to PURGE only when their retention period has been met.
NOTE: The RP= and PURGE= work in conjunction with the ARCHIVE to delete records automatically on a daily basis. The ARCHIVE specifies a time of day (default 0100 - or 1:00 am) for the purge to execute and automatically delete the records specified with PURGE=Y when the RP= value is met.
Review the ENF control options specified in the r15.0 Common Services Documentation.
