Issue/Introduction

Does Datacom cut SMF 89 records? If not, what record type should be considered for Datacom usage?

Environment

Release: All supported releases.

Resolution

Datacom doesn't cut any SMF record. 

Datacom can provide SMF statistics, but for DBUTLTY jobs only, not for MUF or for application jobs. 

This is controlled by a parameter named SMFRTY in the Datacom Master List module, also called DBMSTLST. This parameter specifies the System Management Facilities (SMF) record type. When a non-zero value is specified, Datacom/DB writes SMF records for DBUTLTY only. Valid entries for this parameter are 0 or an integer value from 128 through 255. The default value is 0, which indicates no SMF support.

Additional Information

The SMF record formats for DBUTLTY are defined at SMF Record Formats (z/OS Only).
