Since you ask: Our process to offload the SMF data from the MAN files waits until all MAN files are full. (Yes - I will be fixing that). So it forces a switch SMF between each step. Because the MAN files are small on very active systems (Yes - I will be fixing that), any time I can save in switching will reduce the amount of time I am buffering SMF. I am going to look at the TYPE19s. I do not have any current reporting needs for them. And anything else I should get with CA Vantage and DCOLLCT.
