Well... I do use GDG for SMF, but I create one generation a day and use
DISP=MOD for further offloads.
Risky choice.
What happens if the offloading job fails for some reason?
You could lose all the accumulated data.
Why ?
The only problem that can occur is lost record segment (VBS format). It
can be easily fixed. BTW: my datasets are never filled up - multivolume,
ext-PS, space constraint relief, reduce space allocation...
BTW: In your scenario you don't know how old data do you have! The data can be
rolled off depending on the amount, not depending on age.
Do you expect your SMF data to be dumped more than 255 times a day?
The key is to switch at midnight, consolidate, and then delete the day's dumps.
Sounds better.
