Issue/Introduction

The client is using SARINIT SMFTYPE=240 and the SMF records are being generated. However the Metrics job appears to not be using them. These records are being used for the date range: 

SMFTYPE=240,DATE=090001-098365,TIME=0000-2359,RPT=USER
SMFTYPE=240,DATE=090001-098365,TIME=0000-2359,RPT=ACCS
SMFTYPE=240,DATE=090001-098365,TIME=0000-2359,RPT=LOAD
SMFTYPE=240,DATE=090001-098365,TIME=0000-2359,RPT=CHNG

Should something else be used?

Resolution

In using the View Metrics, the date ranges in the control statements are as follows:

. cyyddd-cyyddd

where:
c - century - 0 is for 1900s, 1 is for 2000s
yy - last 2 digits of year
ddd - Julian day

example: 090001-098365
c - century - 0 ==> 1900s
yy - year - 90 ==> 1990
yy - year - 98 ==? 1998
ddd - day - 001 is for January 1
ddd - day - 365 is for December 31 or December 30, depending on a leap year.

What will appear in any resulting reports will be based on data that was captured in the SMF dump file. Each View database should have a unique SARINIT SMFTYPE=nnn parameter. When adding or changing the SMFTYPE=nnn parameter, it is a requirement to recycle the related SARSTC task.
