The Take-up from SMF File process manages the list of SMF Files automatically. Manual updating of Daily SMF File definitions is not required.

JCL to run Take-up is generated from option 4 from the Shared System Definitions Menu. Take-up typically runs as a second step to the SMF Dump process, to keep track of data sets (usually GDGs) created during the day. Refer to SCPASAMP(CPAHDB) for an example of how to run take-up in conjunction with the SMF Dump process.

The Daily SMF File definitions are used at report request time. Daily SMF Files are automatically inserted into your Report request JCL when you request reporting for a time period spanning today and Shared System Definitions are active (not Personal. Refer to Systems in the action bar when submitting a Report request).

Use HDB Housekeeping to remove expired Daily SMF File definitions from the list.
