Unfortunately due to a data center move, I didn't do z/OS 1.12 last year, and that is when the function came in. I am just starting z/OS 1.13 roll outs (other than sandbox) this weekend. I don't have PFA running except in a sandbox now because I just didn't see enough value with the other monitors we have in production to enable it, but since we have had problems on more than a few occasions in the past with loss of SMF data (which is extremely critical to for charge back), this alone gives me a pretty good reason to enable it. -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:m...@mzelden.com Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
