SMF record type 119 subtype 3 not generated on FTP GET

Issue/Introduction

The “FTPCLIENT:YES” parameter in the TCPIP stack definition display is the one that should determine the writing of the SMF record type 119  subtype 3 (FTPCLIENT)  when making an FTP client request.

It can happen that , despite the TCPIP setup being apparently correct, executing  a job with an FTP step that performs a GET from an external server to the z machines, the SMF record type 119 subtype 3 is not generated.

Is the Common Services front-end to SMF involved in this problem? 

Resolution

When CCS processing is complete, control is passed to IBM's IEEMB8G8. It has a bug in it which is resolved by IBM PTF UI76704.

There are no known problems with SMF119 subtype 3 and the CCS front end to SMF.
