I would suggest that you extract, from each lpar, the TYPE70 and TYPE89 SMF records on a daily basis into separate GDG datasets whose GDS bases are set to a limit of 45 or 75. When you run the SCRT program, just specify the GDS base names and pull in all generations for all lpars. No harm, no foul.
This avoids a massive read of monthly SMF record types you don't care about.

The tool requires that the input SMF data is to span from the second day of the month to the first day of the next month. Our SMF data is separated by the month. How are other shops performing this retrieval. I would like to automate this process and not have to enter dates & times to pull the requested SMF data needed. Any help would be appreciated.
