Add Protsym Data Sets to a Profile

You can add Protsym data sets to a selected profile. A Protsym data set is a VSAM relative-record data set (RRDS) used to store symbolic information for reporting.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Profiles view.

  2. Right-click a Protsym node and select Add Data Set.
    The Add New Data Set dialog opens.

  3. Type a fully qualified data set name.

  4. Check the following boxes as necessary.

    • Use as Dynamic Symbolic Support receiver
      Initiates or causes CA Endevor SCM to dynamically load program listings into the specified Protsym file if a matching listing is not found in any of the Protsym files specified in the node.
      When a file is selected as a receiver, this field will be disabled and the name of this field will change to display the currently specified receiver file. Only one file is selected as the Dynamic Symbolic Support (DSS) receiver file in each CA SymDump® profile.

      Note: To use DSS, the CA Source Control Manager and the CA SCM FOOTPRINT options must be active when the abending program was compiled or assembled. The program listings must also be managed by CA SCM.

    • Always refresh non-LE enabled Assembler symbolics
      Initiates or causes CA Endevor SCM to always load non-LE enabled assembler program listings because there is no date/time stamp in the associated program load module that can be used for match verification.

  5. Click Finish.
    The details of the new Protsym data set are saved and the Profiles view refreshes to show the updated data set name.
