Missing SMF Record Type 89
We are running z/OS 2.4 on a z15 with three LPARs (Production, Development, and Sandbox). We use SMF log streams to collect our SMF records. We kick off a batch job everyday at 2:00 to capture the previous day's SMF records from the log stream, and write them to a GDG dataset. SMF Type 89 is turned on for all LPARs. This past month, May, our Sandbox LPAR has 23 hours missing on May 10th. The LPAR was up on May 10th. Yet, there are no TYPE 89 records from 00:00 to 23:00 on May 10th. I cannot determine why the SMF Type 89s were not cut for that day. I have the syslog for that day and have looked at the messages after midnight of the 10th. But I do not see anything regarding TYPE 89 records. What else can I do to determine why the 89s were not cut for that one day only? Thanks in advance.

Re: Missing SMF Record Type 89
In the system log check the SMF swap times and the batch jobs that copy and re-initialize the SMF files.

What records are not missing from Sandbaox on May 10th? Do you have the job logs from SMF off-loading for may 10th data? What do the 2 and 3 SMF record time-stamps from the May 10th -look like?

Re: Missing SMF Record Type 89
My bad, the daily SMF dump job did NOT run at 2:00 AM on May 11th as it was scheduled to run. That job was supposed to dump data for the 10th. There was testing going on for the replacement joblog/sysout archiver software that caused all scheduled jobs on the sandbox LPAR for May 11th to wait for a reply. I was not contacted until after midnight on May 12th, which is when I replied to the messages. Since the SMF dump job uses the RELATIVEDATE(BYDAY,1,1) parameter, this caused the job to dump the May 11th data. Ding, ding user error (and I am the user)! Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

I probably read the docs wrong.

Re: un-VMARC for MVS?
There is also https://www.oocities.org/rosspatterson/vmarc/ Find the line that says "Bill Godfrey's unpack-only port of VMARC 1.2.13 to MVS" which is a link to a zip file. The port was made specifically for MVS.
