The Record Selection Extract is a facility that allows you to create
a small extract file containing only the records of interest to you.
The extract file can then be used as input to CICS PA, allowing
more efficient reporting.
The Record Selection Extract filters large SMF Files, writing only
SMF records that match the following criteria:
- CICS®, DB2®, MQ, and Logger System
Selection
- Selected record types, being any of:
- Performance
- Exception
- Resource
- Statistics
- OMEGAMON®
- DB2
- WebSphere® MQ
- System Logger
- Identity
- Performance Selection Criteria
- Exception Selection Criteria
- Logger Selection Criteria
- Run-time SMF reporting interval
A Recap report containing processing statistics is always printed
at the end of extract processing.
