Jim, thanks for that heads-up.
We are still at 1.8, but I had intended to use this functionality as soon as we have migrated to 1.10. We are loosing SMF data regularly during shutdown of *one* system at a time, because of all the SMF30 termination records that get written at DB2 and IMS shutdown. We cannot increase the SMF buffers any further and we are at the end of any tuning for the SMF data sets. We are at the point where we stagger the DB2/IMS shutdown in hopes that the dumping of SMF records is through when the next comes. I had wondered how LOGGER would handle offload of a huge amount of SMF data right during shutdown. Do you also see this problem if you only shut down one system? Or only when there is no system left that can do the actual offload from the CF? And may I enquire why you regularly do sysplex-wide IPLs?
