Issue/Introduction

If IFCID 376 is included in System history, will this IFCID be written out to SMF also or only to the Sysview history file?

Environment

Release : 20.0

Component : CA Insight Database Performance Monitor for DB for z/OS

Resolution

DB2 doesn't write to SMF but to history file. If you want to write to SMF you need to start DB2 trace.  There is a job in the SOURCE(SMFSORT) that can be used to extract DB2 SMF records and Sort them for use with the IDB2 batch job.
