    This PTF adds DSN1SMFP to DB2 10 for z/OS.  DSN1SMFP is a
    DB2-supplied application for processing DB2 audit trace data
    into reports that are useful for basic evaluation.  This PTF
    also adds a sample job called DSNTEJCC that shows how to call
    DSN1SMFP.
    
    For complete evaluation, customers should also use other
    products, such as IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for DB2 Performance
    Expert on z/OS for much more robust reporting.
    .
    ==============
    About DSN1SMFP
    ==============
    DSN1SMFP accepts one or more SMF data sets in standard SMF
    format and produces from one to nineteen reports. All SMF
    record types are accepted but only type 101 (DB2 Accounting)
    and 102 (DB2 Performance) records generated by the DB2 release
    level of DSN1SMFP and having one of the following DB2 IFCIDs are
    used:
      * 0003: Accounting - DDF Data by Location (security-relevant
              fields only)
      * 0004: Trace Start
      * 0005: Trace Stop
      * 0023: Utility Start
      * 0024: Utility Change
      * 0025: Utility End
      * 0083: Identify End
      * 0106: System Parameters (security-relevant fields only)
      * 0140: Audit Authorization Failures
      * 0141: Audit DDL Grant/Revoke
      * 0142: Audit DDL Create/Alter/Drop
      * 0143: Audit First Write
      * 0144: Audit First Read
      * 0145: Audit DML Statement
      * 0269: Trusted Connection
      * 0270: Trusted Context
      * 0350: SQL Statement
      * 0361: Audit Administrative Authorities
      * 0362: Trace Start and Stop with AUDITPOLICY
    
    Each such trace type is extracted and outputted in report format
    to a dedicated DD for that trace type.  The output DD name
    indicates the report source: For example, the report
    for each IFCID 0003 trace record is written to the IFCID003 DD,
    the report for each IFCID 0106 trace record is written to the
    IFCID106 DD, and so on.
    
    DSN1SMFP accepts SMF records from any release of DB2 but uses
    only those for the release in which it ships. You cannot, for
    example, use V10 DSN1SMFP to report on a V9 DB2.
    .
    DSN1SMFP also counts and reports the following values in the
    end-of-job summary, which is written to the SYSPRINT DD:
      * Total SMF records read
      * Total SMF type 101 records
      * Total SMF type 102 records
      * Separate totals for IFCIDs 0003, 0004, 0005, 0023, 0024,
        0025, 0083, 0106, 0140, 0141, 0142, 0143, 0144, 0145,
        0269, 0270, 0350, 0361, 0362
        and "other IFCID" records read
      * Separate totals for formatted IFCID 0003, 0004, 0005, 0023,
        0024, 0025, 0083, 0106, 0140, 0141, 0142, 0143, 0144, 0145,
        0269, 0270, 0350, 0361 and 0362 records written
      * Total formatted records written
    
    The SYSPRINT DD is also the destination for diagnostic and
    warning messages generated by DSN1SMFP.
    
    DSN1SMFP requires the following DD statements:
      * STEPLIB/JOBLIB (input)
          The STEPLIB or JOBLIB DD must specify both the SDSNEXIT
          and SDSNLOAD libraries unless both of these are available
          from the link list.  The SDSNEXIT library needs to
          contain the DSNHDECP module used by the DB2 subsystem that
          generated the SMF records to be processed.
      * SMFINDD (input)
          The SMFINDD DD must specify one or more data sets that
          contain DB2 trace records in standard SMF format. All SMF
          records are acceptable but DSN1SMFP will select only SMF
          type 101 and 102 records that match its DB2 release level,
          and that have an IFCID type of 0003, 0004, 0005, 0023,
          0024, 0025, 0083, 0106, 0140, 0141, 0142, 0143, 0144,
          0145, 0269, 0270, 0350, 0361 or 0362.

    ================
    Running DSN1SMFP
    ================
    DSN1SMFP loads the DSNHDECP module to obtain the EBCDIC CCSIDs
    to be used when converting Unicode-encoded trace data to EBCDIC
    format:  To avoid conversion problems and possible contamination
    of output, ensure that DSN1SMFP can load the DSNHDECP module
    used by the DB2 subsystem that generated the SMF records to be
    processed.  Users of DSN1SMFP must ensure that the library where
    the local DSNHDECP module resides (typically prefix.SDSNEXIT) is
    available and allocated ahead of prefix.SDSNLOAD in the JOBLIB
    or STEPLIB DD concatenation.  When DSN1SMFP encounters an IFCID
    0106, if the EBCDIC CCSID that is used by DB2 does not agree
    with the CCSID that is loaded from DSNHDECP, DSN1SMFP reports a
    warning message and ends with a minimum return code of 4.
    
    DSN1SMFP is designed for execution in the z/OS batch process.
    It has no dependency on DB2 other than as a source of the SMF
    records and the DSNHDECP module.
    
    Output DDs can be allocated to a print device, a data set, or
    held output.
    
    ===================
    Sample job DSNTEJCC
    ===================
    For convenience, sample job DSNTEJCC provides the basic JCL
    framework needed to execute DSN1SMFP.  DSNTEJCC is not intended
    to be run as part of the DB2 Installation Verification Procedure
    (IVP).  Note that DB2 does not provide sample SMF records.
    
    See the DSNTEJCC prolog for directions on how to customize it
    for use at your site.
