FW: SMF dump processing

2016-04-14 Thread Barry Merrill
When I looked as some old SYSLOG data, it appears there can be several events that may occur between the IEC205 message and the IEC234K Keep Message for the same job. No real delay in this example, but it does show events. (And ONLY after the accidental selection of this by message sequence and

Are you recording SMF 19? IIRC this can greatly elongate the SMF dump process as the system goes to touch every online volume for each SMF dataset switch. In your SMF dump job, add buffers, especially on the tape side. I am currently running with 50 and may increase it some more. The combinat
