Changing the log streams or record types used for SMF logging

You can dynamically change, add, or remove the log streams you want to use or the record types that you want for your SMF logging configuration by doing one of the following:

• Use the SETSMF LSNAME or SETSMF DEFAULTLSNAME to temporarily add, delete, or edit log streams or record types. Because the change is not in the SMFPRMxx parmlib member, the next IPL will not reflect this change.

  Note that this method requires that PROMPT(LIST) or PROMPT(ALL) be specified in the active SMFPRMxx parmlib member to allow use of the SETSMF command.

• Create a new SMFPRMxx member with the changes to the log streams or record types you want. Then use the SET SMF=xx command to begin using that parmlib member. This change will remain in effect across IPLs.
