Buried on page 23 of the announcement PDF:
"In z/OS V1.11, the SMF log stream dump utility, IFASMFDL, is planned to allow you to specify a range of dates relative to the date on which the program is started. For example, you will be able to specify that the SMF records created yesterday, or those created for six days starting nine days ago, be processed. This design will allow date ranges to be specified by days, weeks, or months. Also, IFASMFDL is planned to support new options to manage the retention of the data in the SMF log stream and allow you to specify that data by archived (dumped and deleted) or deleted from the log stream. These new IFASMFDL functions are intended to make it easier to exploit log stream-based SMF data management." That second to last sentence that says "data by archived" I hope means "data BE archived". For those going to SHARE in Austin, can someone ask for clarification about this part of the announcement and report back to the rest of us that cannot make it there? Pretty please? :-) Bob --------------------------------------------------------- Robert B.
