$READSMF Using IFASMFDP to copy SMF data 08/05/04 THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The Package: IBMTOOLS.EXE Self-Extracting Zip file. This will expand into four separate files: IBMJCL.BIN, IBMLOAD.BIN, IBMCNTL.BIN IBMJCL.BIN - Execution JCL for IFASMFDP jobstream. IBMLOAD.BIN - Load module for TAPEONLY exit. If you are experiencing an abend U901 while running GFTAXTR, you either have bad SMF records from an OEM Y2K testing program or the system date was re-set backwards after some tape jobs started. If you copy the data using USER2(SMFILTER) as an exit routine, checks are made against RDR start date/time, OPEN start date/time, and CLOSE date/time in the SMF 14/15 records. If these date/time stamps are not in ascending sequence within a given record, that record will be dropped. This exit keeps only the tape related SMF records. This exit routine must reside in an authorized steplib. 1. IFASMFDP - Standard MVS utility for copying SMF data with an example of using USER2(SMFILTER). THIS JOB CAN BE USED TO EXTRACT JUST THE TAPE SMF RECORDS. A USER EXIT IS INVOKED DURING IFASMFDP EXTRACTION TO FILTER OUT SMF RECORDS FOR TAPE ACTIVITY ONLY. 14/15: SELECT ONLY TAPE ACTIVITY RECORDS AND MAKE SURE RDR, OPEN, AND CLOSE DATE/TIME ARE ASCENDING. 21: DON'T BOTHER FILTERING, THEY ARE TAPE ONLY. 30.1: DROP THEM. 30.2: SELECT ONLY THE STEPS THAT HAVE TAPE ACTIVITY. 30.3: SELECT ONLY THE STEPS THAT HAVE TAPE ACTIVITY. 30.4: SELECT ONLY THE STEPS THAT HAVE TAPE ACTIVITY. 30.5: SELECT ONLY THE STEPS THAT HAVE TAPE ACTIVITY. 30.6: DROP THEM. 74.1: DROP ALL OTHER SUB-TYPES 78.3: DROP ALL OTHER SUB-TYPES ALL OTHER TYPES ARE COPIED AS IS -IF REQUESTED-.
