z/OS 1.11 ServerPac dialog new installation variable: PFA

I see new installation variables in z/OS 1.11 ServerPac:


 

==   PFA   

  PFA OWNER USERID  D PFAUSER   

  PFA STG LOCATION  D /pfapath

  PFA USER PASSWORD D

 

This seems to be related to the Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA)

introduced via an APAR in z/OS 1.10.

 

I reviewed the Problem Management G325-2564-05 but am not sure as

to what is the purpose of the directory.

(seems to be a repository of historical data).

 

On my z/OS 1.10 I can see an existing path /var/pfa but I do not

know if there is any relationship between the two (PFA STG LOCATION 

and /var/pfa).

 

I admit I do not like making any new/ my own directories in 

ROOT (/) and prefer to stick to what z/OS provides.

I assume I will mount a separate file system on PFA STG LOCATION for

PFA use if I ever configure it and run.

 

If you installed 1.11 ServerPac - what path did you choose for

PFA STG LOCATION and for what reason?

 

Thank you...

I'm sure it can be changed later, but I pointed it to a local directory
where we install software:

PFA
PFA OWNER USERID D  PFAUSER
PFA STG LOCATION D  /mylcldir/pfapath   
PFA USER PASSWORDD
