Products

• SYSVIEW Performance Management

Issue/Introduction

When enabling SMF TYPE 16 logging getting the below message on the SMFDATA display

Resource                      
< Format module not defined > 

 

 

Cause

Predefined Format module for SMF TYPE 16 is not delivered with SYSVIEW 

Resolution

SYSVIEW does not have any ready-to-use format module for SMF type 16.  Therefore, it will need to be created separately. 

A sample from member hlq.CNM4BSAM(SMFF0017) can be used for creation but it requires customization.
