SMFDUMP works?:
Hi all!
I was wondering which is the process of clearing SMF datasets. We are having
a problem, and I'd like to know the process to see which is that problem.
When one SMF dataset is full, it should get into DUMP REQUIRED state to be
cleared. The problem we are having is that, sometimes (randomly in time) the
dataset stays in CLOSE PENDING for several minutes). If the charge of the
system is high, that time is plenty to let SMF fill up all of its 128 MBs,
so we start to lose data. Could some of you tell me when the dataset changes
its state, and why?
Thank you very much!!!!
While I can not help you with your "Slow Close" problem, I can offer
some assistance with your "All Files Full" one. Why not increase the
size of the MAN Datasets or allocate more of them? So long as at
least one is not full (either because of its size [when it is the
active one] or the number you have defined [ie: There is still at
least one that is empty and can be switched to]) you will not get an
"All Files Full - Data has no where to be dumped when the buffers
fill" condition.
