DFSMSrmm provides report facilities and sample reports to help you report on DFSMSrmm information. Reporting facilities include an ISPF application that enables quick and easy creation of several types of reports. You can use the system management facilities (SMF) to create records when information in DFSMSrmm has been updated or when confidential volumes have been accessed. Use the SMF records to create reports describing access to designated volumes and data sets.

You can create inventory and movement reports for volumes managed by DFSMSrmm. The inventory reports help you audit the content of your library and storage locations. The movement reports identify volume movement through your library and storage locations. You can use information from the DFSMSrmm control data set as input to create your own reports using DFSORT or DFSORT's ICETOOL utility. DFSORT lets you use symbols for fields and constants in DFSORT and ICETOOL control statements. This makes it easy to use DFSORT's ICETOOL for DFSMSrmm reporting. You can use DFSORT symbols for the DFSMSrmm SMF records, extract file records, and activity file records instead of using field offsets or data types to create reports.
