Creating a SIDMap file
Before you begin
For example, in the Repository “QIP1”might be listed as the SMF id, but the SCRT data has a different SMF id of “IPO1”. In order for this SCRT data to be imported into “QIP1”, you create a SIDMAP (text file) to assign “IPO1” to be “QIP1”, so when the SCRT data is imported, the data is matched.
For example, sidmap.txt contains11111-IPO1=QIP1
11111-IPO2=QIP2
What this does is, when the SCRT importer is processing data for machine serial 11111 and SMFID IP01, assign a SID value of QIP1 instead to match with existing SID data already present in the target repository.
Procedure
