Re: How SMF Logger works (was Reading Active SMF dataset)

2013-02-27 Thread Nick Jones
Hi Jose, It's probably not a good idea to use IXGBRWSE to read SMF log data. SMF blocks the records and puts multiple records in the log block. You'll need to use IFASMFDL to deblock the smf records. See z/OS MVS System Management Facilities (SMF) SA22-7630-xx chapter Using the SMF Dump Progr

I guess that depends on what needs to be done. I don't like doing anything in such exits which is CPU intensive or might abend. Example: parsing SMF type 30 records and putting the data into a DB2 table. Or perhaps composing an email message and sending it. On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 8:34 AM, Staller

How about just doing whatever needs to be done in IEFU8n? If it were me, I'd use the IEFU8n exits to copy the records I'm interested in into AMODE64 common storage. Then do an XMPOST to cause a separate STC to process them. Of course, this is much more complicated and requires at least APF aut

  Thank you for all people that answered my question.   It was very usefull to see exactly the instructions that I need to find out the SMF files and read it using OPEN/GET/RPL VSAM macro instructions.   I will use them as reference. I think that with those tips and examples it will be possible t

Hi, Mark. Yes, it's for our shop's internal only, but you are right. I don't know when this can happens, but ... So I need learn about how to manipulate it if the SMF migrate to SMF logger. Thanks for your help. IPLINFO was a good example how to get the SMF dataset names. For now, I need to
