"append" is a general word here, you could imbed your code in the PROFILE EXEC, have the PROFILE EXEC call your exec, or your exec may replace the current PROFILE EXEC. To make it possible to recover from a failed FTP, it might indeed be good to keep the "old" SMF log on RACFSMF's A-disk and tell FTP to send that (and not send the one from RACFVM 301/302, because that will be ERASEd a while later. 2009/12/2 Martin, Terry R. (CMS/CTR) (CTR) <terry.mar...@cms.hhs.gov<mailto:terry.mar...@cms.hhs.gov>> Great thanks just for clarity on my part when the SMF file is either switched due to being FULL or told to switch by the command it writes the file to the A disk (191) of RACFSMF so when I invoke my code to FTP it to z/OS the file mode will by default be looking at the A disk for the FN FT that I pass on the PUT correct?

Th "standard" code will copyfile it onto RACFSMF 191 and erase it from 301/302. Extend the code with your FTP stuff. If you surely want to process each night (and not only when the disk gets full) use your favorite automation software to issue a CP SMSG RACFVM SWITCH (or SMF SWITCH or something alike, I don't have the manual here) then RACF will proceed as it the disk is full and start RACFSMF. To be able to send such a SWITCH command, the issuer must be defined in some file you must ASSEMBLE (afair: CSTCONS ASSEMBLE, hence CSTCONS TEXT). By default OPERATOR is inside, so a CP CLASS C user can fool RACF with CP SEND CP OPERATOR SMSG RACFVM SWITCH By using RACFSMF directly, you will be sure to process at the time you want, but also when the disk gets full sooner than you expect. 2009/12/2 Martin, Terry R. (CMS/CTR) (CTR) <terry.mar...@cms.hhs.gov<mailto:terry.mar...@cms.hhs.gov>> Hi I want to automate the copying of the RACF SMF records over to z/OS each night. I have the basics down on how to do this but the one thing that I am not sure about is how to determine the SMF data file that is not in use so that I can FTP that file to z/OS. My thoughts were to create a Virtual Machine that links to the appropriate disks so that I can access the RACFVM machine to get the SMF DATA file. Since I do not want to FTP the "in use" SMF DATA file some where in here I need to figure out how to determine which file is not in use. I thought I would XAUTOLOG the Virtual Machine at a designated time each night that would execute an EXEC that would FTP the SMF DATA FILE to z/OS. As part of the Exec I would probably need to run the RACFADU Unload utility and then run the SMFCONV utility on the output from the unload utility. I will probably write PIPES to handle this. The SMFCONV process will convert the SMF Unloaded file so that it can be read by the RACF Report Writer on the z/OS side. So, given what I am proposing to do to handle this is there something I am missing or are there any recommendations that would make it similar? Thanks for the help!!
