Issue/Introduction

Is it a necessity to migrate data from one ENF MUF to another?  If so, is there a process.?

 

 

Environment

Release: CA90SV00200-14.1-Common Services-for z/OS
Component: CAIENF

Resolution

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 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. 

 

Additional Information

All of the Control Options Summary - CAIENF are located in the CA COMMON SERVICES 14.1 REFERENCE GUIDE
