Use the SMFDATA subcommand to recover system management facilities
(SMF) records from buffers in the dump and transfer them to a pr-eallocated
SMF (VSAM) data set or a log stream if RECORDING(LOGSTREAM) had been
in use at the time of the dump.
The output data set
must be:
- Pre-allocated to the data set with a ddname of SMFDATA
- Using the same control interval size as the defined SMF data sets
- Large enough to accommodate all the SMF data in the dump
- Allocated and used for only this purpose
- Defined with a low offload threshold (for example HIGHOFFLOAD(10))
to account for heavy utilization of the coupling facility structure.
The output log stream
must be:
- Defined with the administrative data utility (IXCMIAPU or IXCM2APU)
with a log stream name of IFASMF.DUMP00
- Defined with a MAXBUFSIZE that matches or exceeds the defined
MAXBUFSIZE value of the logstream data that resides in the dump.
- Accessible from the local system
- Sized large enough to hold the data in the dump
- Allocated and used for only this purpose.
