Re: Detail SMF record processing

2012-04-17 Thread Donald Likens
I do not need to include the processing before doing the SMFEWTM if I am 
attempting to determine how much processing is done after the SMFEWTM is 
issued. Assume I have already gathered all the data and now I am  attempting to 
determine what I should do with it.

For what SMF record type?

Do you need 'processing' for writing it out to a temporary storage, then to 
MANx datasets then to other datasets?

I'm still not sure what you mean by 'processing'? Do you mean overhead for 
post-parsing / re-formatting of the SMF record before finally writing it out to 
MANx datasets? Do you need to send this record to another exit or address space?

Or please give an example on what you're trying to accomplish, perhaps by usage 
of other SMF macros?

When using SMFEWTM, what is your intended usage of BRANCH keyword? What will 
you do if you get RC=20 upon returning from SMFEWTM?

Re: Detail SMF record processing

2012-04-17 Thread William Richardson
Not much to tell you here .. SMF(e)WTM invokes a process which does some 
initial validation of the input and environment and then reads an in-storeage 
table to see if the record type(/subtype) has been requested by the user (via 
the parms in SMFPRMxx) and then, IF the record type was requested based on the 
parms,  the processing invokes the appropriate IEFU8x exit (based on the 
current environment).

If the record selection exit (IEFU8x) confirms the selection, the processing 
copies the input record data into a buffer in the SMF address space (cross 
memory) and signals the totally asynchronous writer function to output the 
record buffer to either the active MANx dataset -or- to the logstream which 
ever is specified in the SMFPRMxx parmlib member.

After the copy of the data noted above the SMF(e)WTM invoked processing returns 
control to the invoker of the macro (at the next instruction).
 
That's all there.

Bill..

Detail SMF record processing

2012-04-16 Thread Donald Likens
Does anyone know where I can find detail information about SMF record 
processing? For example:

SMFEWTM is issued
X routine is invoked to do such and such
Y routine is invoked to do such and such
Etc.

What are you looking for?

From your perspective the only issue is whether U83, U84 or U85 is invoked.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

If so, you also need to include the processing before the SMFEWTM, where the
application is gathering the data.
