Using the SMF Dump Programs

The way you dump SMF data depends on whether you use log stream recording or SMF data set recording. See:

• Dumping SMF log streams - IFASMFDL
• Dumping the SMF Data Sets - IFASMFDP

Note that both the dump program for SMF log streams (IFASMFDL) and for SMF data sets (IFASMFDP) support the same exits. See Table 1 for IFASMFDL and Table 1 for IFASMFDP.
