Does ACF2 ACFRPTNV report support the SmartEndPoint logstream feature?

Products

• ACF2 - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

The ACF2 ACFRPTNV ISPF panels and report JCL support the  SmartEndPoint logstream feature.

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : ACF2 for z/OS

Resolution

SMARTENDPOINT is an optional parameter that can be used in the ACF2 ACFRPTVN report to designate a 'smart end point' value. This value is specified as hhmm, and results in a time that  is calculated which designates when to stop browsing the SMF logstream records. By default(if SMEP not specified) logstream records are read all the way to the end before completing. When specifying a SMARTENDPOINT value, sites can choose to stop reading logstream records at a designated point rather than the end of the logstream which can reduce processing time.

From the ACFRPTNV panel hhmm can be coded in the panel field:

SmartEndPoint  ===>  hhmm   HHMM 0000 -0200

The DD for an SMF datastream supports a new SMEP (SmartEndPoint) parm in part 2 of the SUBSYS parameter when using the IFASEXIT processing exit.  ACFRPTNV batch JCL example using SMARTENDPOINT SMEP parameter follows:

//REPORT  EXEC PGM=ACFRPTNV                                            
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                                
//RECMAN1  DhD DSN=sys2.STREAM,DISP=SHR,                        
//  SUBSYS=(LOGR,IFASEXIT,'FROM=(2022/052,00:01),TO=(2022/053,23:00)',
//         'SIiD(SYSX),SMEP(0100)')                                    
//SYSIN    DD *
