When Shared System Definitions are used, all batch requests (that require SMF input) will have their SMF file DD statements generated automatically from either the Daily or Cyclic definitions. Specify the required reporting interval, and CICS PA will automatically select the required SMF files for your job.
If reporting is required for today, then CICS PA will use the Daily SMF Files (if available). Otherwise, CICS PA will use the Cyclic SMF File definitions to satisfy your request. If no SMF file definitions cover the required reporting interval, then CICS PA will honor the “Missing SMF Files Option” on the run panel.
