Starting SMF Record Type 99

You specify the type 99 record in the SMFPRMxx parmlib member under SUBSYS STC.

Because SMF type 99 records are written approximately every 10 seconds, you should write them only for certain time periods. If you use NOTYPE in your SMFPRMxx parmlib member, you should include type 99 in your NOTYPE list. For example:

SUBSYS(STC,NOTYPE(99))

If you use TYPE in your SMFPRMxx parmlib member, make sure you add TYPE 99 only when you want this level of detail. For example, add:

SUBSYS(STC,TYPE(99))

You should have an SMFPRMxx parmlib member for general audit information that does not specify type 99, and another for detailed audit information that specifies type 99. This way, you can write the frequently written SMF record types like SMF type 99 only when you need them.

The mapping macro (IRASMF99) for this record is shipped in SYS1.AMODGEN.
