Does this sound ok? > Here I've set up the SMF rollup system to dump to a DASD dataset from the MAN files as they fill up during the day. Then just after midnight the automated ops system issues a final I SMF command. The dump datasets are then rolled up to daily dataset on virtual tape. After the daily run on Sunday morning the dailies are rolled up to weekly dataset on physical tape. We don't roll up to monthly datasets but keep 106 (2 years) of weekly generations. We use IFASMFDP to do our copying from dump to daily to weekly. I've also written a little SAS routine to keep the input generations in ascending numeric order. The first step of the roll up job creates an IDCAMS LISTCAT listing of the input which is read by the SAS program that creates the input DD statements. I've also split the daily and weekly SMF records into multiple groups based on how we process - one tape has CICS (SMF 110), another has DB2 (SMF 100-102), another has WLC required records (SMF 30, 70-79, and 89), and the last one has everything else.
