Adding a dataset attribute group

Use the following procedure to add a dataset attribute group:

1. In the navigator, click Dataset Attributes System Summary.
2. Right-click on the Dataset Attributes System Summary node, click Workspace, and then click Dataset Attributes Group Summary from the context menu.
3. Right-click a row in the Dataset Attributes Group Summary table, and then click Add Group.
4. In the Add User Dataset Group dialog box, use the Group tab to specify the name and description of your group. Use the Properties tab to constrain your group to specific data sets, volumes, SMS classes and other properties. Use the Attributes tab to constrain your group based on specific attributes such as Percent Used and Reference Date.
5. When you finish configuring the dataset attribute group, click OK to add it.

Group tab

Use this tab to specify your dataset attribute group name and description.

Name

Enter a name for the dataset attribute group that you are creating. Names may consist of any combination of characters and must not exceed 30 characters in length. Names are case sensitive.

Description

Enter an optional description for the dataset attribute group. Descriptions may consist of any combination of characters and must not exceed 50 characters in length.

Persist

Click this check box to indicate that the dataset attribute group should persist (or be saved) across recycles of the Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server (monitoring server or TEMS). Dataset attribute groups are discarded during a recycle of the monitoring server if Persist is not selected.

Properties tab

Use this tab to specify properties for your dataset attribute group. Data sets that match any of the properties that you specify will be included in your group, unless further constrained by criteria in the Attributes tab.

Group Properties

Enter one or more dataset name, catalog name, and associated name to include those data sets in your dataset attribute group. Dataset names support the masking rules described in Dataset name masking rules.

SMS

Enter one or more SMS data class, storage class, management class, or storage group to include data sets belonging to those classes or groups in your dataset attribute group.

Owner

Enter one or more owner to include VSAM datasets with those owners in your dataset attribute group.

Volser

Enter one or more volume names to include data sets on those volumes in the dataset attribute group. You can specify a partial name pattern and place the wildcard character (*) at the end. For example, a mask of PRI* will include data sets in your dataset attribute group that are on all volumes whose names begin with "PRI".

Attributes tab

Use this tab to specify attribute constraints for your dataset attribute group. Data sets that match any of the properties and all of the attributes that you specify will be included in your group.

Use the drop-down list in the Attribute column to select an attribute name. Use the drop-down list in the Operator column to select an operator. Use either the drop-down list in the Value column to select an enumerated value or enter a value in the field.
