Hello Group,
For Maintenance reason I want to create B set for

My Idea is to run z/OS system from A set and apply
Maintenance on B set. Once Maintenance applied
I suppose the trick is to ensure SMF records are processed in the order they
are written. Look for Type 0 records to determine the time zone offset at IPL,
start processing records of interest with that offset while also looking for
Type 90 records with a SET CLOCK/DATE/RESET sub-type for any

I hadn't really planned on sequential processing. That assumes that the
relative physical sequence of individual records never change. Which
implies not having been run through a sort process. Of course, we have
multiple z/OS images and we merge all the SMF data together using
DFSORT. This is done
Yes. for creating B set we also have to do indirect cataloging. I think this
would we the first step. But I think there will be many more steps for
creating
B set of Target volume, which can help during Maintenance, so that we dont
have to touch production system.

informed by IBM that sub-tasks are suspended during an abend
You could consider having a file owning TCB (FO-TCB) within your server,
design structures that describe a file and a file action request and then
you can send requests to some sort of queue monitored by the FO-TCB from your
sub-tasks to open or close files.

Besides Rob's suggestion of another task, consider coding the estae routine
such that you always retry. Never percolate the abend unless the SDWA is
set with the no retry bit. Then, in your mainline code at the retry point,
you take care of whatever you need to vis-a-vis the files. After
I'm using SMF90 subtypes 1 2 to catch time and date changes from SET

every other record type with an hour duplicated due to Daylight Saving Time
How would that help his subtasks if the parent task abends? I believe that was
the OPs issue.

If the parent task takes a program check that causes its estae to be driven,
and that estae retries back to mainline task code, then that task has not
abended. It has taken a program check, recovered, retried, and continued
on. At the retry logic in the main parent task, it should be able to

I had thought z/OS implements threads as tasks, so fork() would be needed
to let the child outlive the parent. OTOH,

Interesting topic.
SMF timestamps are a little bit tricky as they are not when the record is
written but when they are created.
So a record could be in storage and not written for as long as a week maybe
more. We had one job that lasted a week. We had to change code to allow for
this and it
