Some places generate an awful lot of SMF data!

With XML, I can more easily write my own stuff in Java or a number of
other languages which can handle XML (such as Perl and even COBOL).

(... or Lisp!)  From your outboard system it would be relatively easy to
feed your RDBMS of choice.  So yes, I think that would be worthwhile.


My $0.02:
I saw some SMF reformatters. Home-made and commercial. IMHO the problem lies not in the format of the SMF records, rather in the *meaning* of the data. For example I can reformat RACF records using IRRADU00 tool, but the out is still invaluable for the person who doesn't know RACF. From the other hand DAF analyzes several SMF records - I even cannot say which ones - but the output is very valuable for me. That means the tool is good (thank you Michel!) and ...I understand some basics of the things being analyzed. I doubt that "general SMF reformatter" would be valuable - a lot of work, but the output is still hardly understandable, because no one knows (and no one is interested in) all the SMF recors.
