Luis,

Thank you for the private "thank you" in which you indicated that your
second question was "what type of events were being logged".

As I mentioned, it is every type of SMF record *except* those excluded by
the NOTYPE specification.

You will see very many types described in the SMF manual - starting with the
contents description for Chapter 13[1]. However you should be aware that you
may have products logging SMF records which are not described here. The
point is that SMF, as you can see from other parts of the manual, has an API
for logging system management records. I believe the rule is that IBM is
allowed to use the numbers 0 to 127 and 128 to 255 are for customer/vendor
use. If a vendor creates SMF records it makes sense that it would be
possible to select the SMF record type number so that clashes can be
avoided.

Here's a little point regarding SMF I used to promote during classes: If you
are keen to produce your own SMF records and you are in a NetView
environment, NetView supplies a tool which provides for just this - in a
very simple way. The VPDLOG command, while appearing to be specific to
"vital product data", is actually quite general.

[1] You will find that often in the SMF manual the type is mentioned in the
contents but when you take a look you will find a reference to the product
manual, for example, NPM. The product manual will have the full description
of the SMF record.
