There is a good chance that we may stop using SAS on z/OS. At present, only one mission-critical application uses it and we are looking at replacing that. Our other main use is MXG. I know that many have run MXG and SAS on a PC platform for cost savings. What I am wondering, not being an MXG person, is if anybody has tried to load SMF data into an SQL database? In my particular case, this would likely require reformatting the SMF data into something that could be ftp'ed to a Linux box and then loaded into a PostgreSQL database. I'm more interested in the table definations than anything else. And what ya'll thing of this, given that using MXG and SAS on the z/OS system would be simplier. Am I going totally off track even considering this?
