Issue/Introduction
Does Netmaster create SMF records?
If it does, what type of SMF records are created?
Environment
Release : 12.2
Component : NetMaster Suite
Resolution
In general, NetMaster is capable of cutting SMF records for various functions.
Whether or not any SMF records at all will be cut is determined within Netmaster by the /PARMS SMF parameter group.
If you browse this group, it will either be blank or contain the number for the SMF TYPE used by Netmaster.
You can see by this screenshot that SMF records are not being cut in this region.
Using the PF1 HELP will show you the various types of records that can be generated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SMF Record Identifier specifies the ID to use when this
region creates the following SMF records:
- ServiceView
- ResourceView
- EventView
- User CPU time accounting
- FTS data set records
- Performance monitoring trends:
DS - one-off samples
HD - hourly trends
- NEWS
- NTS
- User
These records are written without setting the subtypes
flag in the SMF record header.
The value should not have been used by other third-party
products. A value of 0 disables record creation.
