CICS system programmers need to consult with their MVS system programmers
to plan the storage required for the log streams needed by the CICS log
manager.

Please refer to the
OS/390 Initialization and Tuning Guide
for information on
calculating the size of SDUMP. For background information about SMF and data
set considerations consult the
OS/390 MVS System Management Facilities
.
However, you must reference the
CICS Customization Guide
for information on
CICS monitor records and sizes and the
CICS Performance Guide
for information
on CICS statistics records and sizes. If you are to use CICS with GTF please
review the
OS/390 MVS Diagnosis Tools and Service Aids
