Yes, Lionel, you are reading the doc correctly. VM does not have an SMF facility (I wish it did). RACF being an good MVS program wants to log dat a to SMF, so the compromise is for the RACF server to create its own SMF dataset. Later you can merge this data with your MVS data and run one rep ort on RACF activity.
I wish more of the servers would create SMF data, RSCS, TCPIP, DIRMAINT, SFS servers. All need a good centralized SMF data repository and a decent SMF reporting tool. /Tom Kern 301-903-2211 On Tue, 25 Sep 2007 08:50:55 -0700, Lionel B.
